Murfreesboro High School’s search for their next head coach is progressing well, according to South Pike County Schools Superintendent Tanya Wilcher.
Wilcher said the school had received 15-16 applications as of Monday morning, and had interviewed three candidates last week and plans to interview three-four this week on campus.
“We are excited and very hopeful to find the right person and the right fit for us. We are getting a very good pool to look at – quite a few with head coaching experience, which is something we haven’t always gotten in the past.”
Wilcher said the plan was to interview the most interesting candidates prior to the district’s Christmas break, which begins at the end of the school day on Friday, Dec. 20 and will run through Monday, Jan. 6 of 2025.
She said that it was likely, though not guaranteed, that any final decision would take place following the holiday break to ensure that the interviewing process was a thorough as possible. “Just because we are interviewing all the way up through Thursday … but we have some candidates now that we feel like are very, very qualified. If we happen to definitively find the one before then, then we’ll do it.”
