“Passing the ball”
John Elton, our beloved varsity boys basketball coach officially retired from coaching at PCS after coaching at various levels within our boys basketball program for the past seventeen years. We will cherish the memories of John’s dedicated service to the school. While these memories include a lot of victories and even an exciting run for a state championship, they also include so many incredible memories of his passion and dedication to the boys. John embodied the school’s mission, and he used the sport of basketball and the relationships he forged with students to teach them to think biblically, serve effectively, and lead Christ-centered lives. When you run into John around town or at PCS events please join us in thanking him for his years of service!
With John’s announced retirement, we knew we needed a succession plan that would replace John with someone who could continue to develop and grow our boys basketball program like John has done for so many years.
