Johnson High athletic coordinator hired

Several months after hiring Johnson High’s first principal, Hays CISD has named the school’s inaugural athletic coordinator.

Steve Hoffman, who is the current head football coach at Coriscana High and assistant athletic director for Corsicana ISD near Waco, was selected as Johnson High’s first athletic coordinator, according to a press release.

Hoffman was selected after an “extensive” interview process. More than 100 applicants threw their hats into the ring for the job. Tim Savoy, Hays CISD chief communications officer, said Superintendent Eric Wright made the decision to hire Hoffman on a teacher’s contract.
