Location: Central Coast California; Santa Maria & Orcutt, CA. (20 mins to several beaches)
Demographic: Melting Pot of 2,400 students (White, Hispanic, Black, Asian)
District: 3 High School Joint Union District. Middle Schools & Elementary are seperate districts but feed into the high schools.
Pros: Program is on the upswing; we won the first league title in the past 16 years in 2025. We have made the playoffs the last two years (I took over the program in 2023). Strong sophomore class who helped pioneer the league championship season. Program has averaged a 3.0 gpa throughout all levels.
Cons: Work in progress with building the love for football at an elite level. Smaller staff (but we have the right people in the building). We battle hurdles of offseason programing due to a lot of multiple sport athletes and access points to weightlifting classes, but we are creative in how we get to our student athletes.
Need: More football & kid loving coaches to pour into our program, no "hobby" coaches.
