CHS Principal Dr. Joey Vaughn
Coffee County Central High School principal Dr. Joey Vaughn, along with new athletic director Ryan Sulkowski, are spending this week looking to fill 3 positions in the athletic department. While interviews for 2 assistant athletic directors and a new head baseball coach are occurring concurrently, Dr. Vaughn hopes to fill the vacant assistant athletic director positions this week. CHS is expanding the assistant athletic director responsibilities from 1 position to 2 positions to allow for greater flexibility. Four finalists for the 2 positions have been selected and interviews are nearing completion.
According to Dr. Vaughn, more than 30 applicants applied for the head baseball coach position and nine applicants have been selected for an interview. Vaughn, without giving specifics, was satisfied with the number, diversity and quality of applicants for the vacant position. Initial interviews are expected to conclude by Friday with a preliminary decision to follow soon after the interviews. Background checks and candidate vetting will take place prior to a final recommendation being forwarded to schools director Dr. LaDonna McFall for a final approval. Vaughn says that he anticipates the position to be filled in the early summer.
