EISD is proud to announce Damon Rodgers as the new Assistant Principal at Eastland High School. Rogers has been a teacher for over twenty-five years and has spent seven of those years educating and coaching Eastland students. His wife, Tina, has also been teaching in EISD for seven years. His son graduated from EHS and his daughter will be starting her freshman year this fall. Formerly, Rogers was the Offensive Coordinator for Mavericks Football, Head Coach for Track, and taught World History.
“We are excited for Rogers to take up this mantle,” Superintendent Williams stated. “He has valuable experience that will help Eastland High School provide an even better quality education moving forward.”
As a coach, Rogers has overseen students shattering school track records, multiple advancements up to the Regional Track Meet, as well as being a part of the coaching staff that saw the Mavericks make it back to the Playoffs during the 2023 Football season. When asked what accomplishment he is most proud of, however, Rogers stated that it was the relationships he had built with the students. “At the Athletic Banquets, our student athletes invite people they consider mentors. I’ve been invited by multiple students for the past two years. That means a lot to me, personally.” He also mentioned being proud of being Teacher of the Month for January and being selected as a Texas Coach of the Week.
