The Quillayute Valley School District Board of Directors unanimously approved the hiring of the new Forks High School Head Football coach at a regular board meeting on January 28, 2015. Craig Shetterly was unanimously appointed as the new leader of the Spartan Football program.
Shetterly brings plenty of past proven performance as an assistant and head coach to the Spartan field: Defensive Coordinator at Mount Vernon High School (3A); Head Coach at Cedar Park Christian School, directing the #1 offense in the 1A level with 541.2 yards; Assistant Head Coach/Co-Offensive Coordinator at Prosser High School (2A), leading state semi-finalist for 3 years; and current Defensive Line Coach at University High School (4A).
A panel of twelve community members interviewed Shetterly and recommended him to Superintendent Diana Reaume. “Coach Shetterly embodies a love for the game and came extremely prepared to meet Forks stakeholders in his interview,” said Reaume. “He had completely done his homework on our Spartans, our schools, and the Forks community.”
Shetterly’s philosophy is to build champions and pursue championships. “We need to establish a clear direction and vision for the program. We want to teach our kids the value of the Double Win, where they not only develop the best in themselves, but bring out the best in everyone around them. I believe it’s this attitude that will improve our football program, the school, and the community around us.”
Coach Shetterly currently holds a special education teaching position at University High School in Central Valley School District. In addition, he has served nine years in the United States Air Force. He and his wife, Cheryl, have been married for eleven years and have two daughters, Jocelyn (7) and Emma (3).
“My family and I are excited about the opportunity to build a championship-level program at Forks High School. I’ve already met a lot of great people in the town and am very happy with the support I’ve received from the Quillayute Valley School District. I look forward to many years of continued success as a Spartan,” stated Coach Shetterly.
