Football Update

Parents,

We had an interest meeting with students today to discuss bringing a football team back to Discovery

High School. Turnout was pretty good. We did stress the importance of commitment and dedication

if we are going to make this work and that everything that happens from this point is totally up to the

kids. If they want a team they are going to have to commit to doing it right or we just won’t have it.

that being said, we are now in the process of accepting applications for a Head Football Coach.

Anyone interested in interviewing should email their information to

cynthia.bulson@discoveryfl.org
