Rock County Public Schools

The administrations of Keya Paha County School and Rock County Public Schools have been actively engaged in the recruitment of coaches, most urgently in the case of the head football position since February and the head volleyball position since the end of May. At this juncture, the search and recruitment has been in vain. While in the past these extra duties would have been assigned, the education field is experiencing an unprecedented and critical shortage of teachers. Forcing this duty onto staff is counterproductive to fulfilling our most basic duty of educating our students. If suitable head coaches cannot be secured by August 1, the districts may be forced to cancel the 2025 high school football and volleyball seasons. If you or someone you know has the ability and the time to devote to guiding our young men and women on the athletic field, please reach out immediately. Interested applicants may call Keya Paha County Schools at 402-497-3501 or Rock County Public Schools at 402-684-3411. You may also contact Athletic Directors Kayla Fischer at [email protected] or Mike Stephen at [email protected].
