Football:
Dean Herrington has been named head football coach at St. Francis High School.
With over twenty-five years of experience as a Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator, Herrington brings a wealth of knowledge to his responsibilities at St. Francis. He has been a head coach at two different area Catholic schools, and an Offensive Coordinator at College of the Canyons, Occidental College, and Hart High School.
He has been head coach at Paraclete High School (Lancaster) since 2016, accumulating an overall record of 40-20. Paraclete won a CIF and State Championship in his first season at the helm and the CIF Championship again in 2017.
Prior to that, he was the Head Coach at Alemany High School (Mission Hills) where he had a record of 84-34, collected seven league titles in ten years and in 2009, took the Warriors to its only CIF Championship football game.
As part of the Hart High staff, he won four CIF championships, and mentored a number of collegiate and professional quarterbacks.
“We are pleased to welcome Coach Herrington to the St. Francis family,” said the school’s President, Fr. Tony Marti. “We are confident that he will continue the tradition of St. Francis Football in the spirit of Coach Jim Bonds and others before him.”
According to Athletic Director Matt Luderer, “Dean distinguished himself throughout the interview process with his football knowledge, commitment to the personal growth of our student-athletes, and desire to enhance the program.”
Herrington added, “Having been a long-time friend of Jim Bonds, I have tremendous respect for St. Francis’ tradition of excellence and character development. I am honored to accept this challenge.”
Herrington will be a member of the St. Francis Faculty in the Physical Education Department.
