    • I have a complaint about my child's coach who do I report that to?
      • It is important that if you have a concern or question regarding a coach or any other aspect of the athletic program that you do make an inquiry. The chain of command that is generally followed begins with taking the concern directly to the coach. If circumstances prevent that from happening, then next in line in the chain of command would be the school Athletic Director. Next would be the Administrator in charge of athletics, then the principal, and finally the Coordinator of Activities & Athletics. For information in assistance in making these contacts please call the Student Activities Office.
