Bret Boyd was chosen as campus coordinator and head football coach for Goose Creek Memorial High School during the Monday meeting of the Goose Creek CISD Board of Trustees.

Goose Creek Memorial, the district’s third high school, will open as a 4-A high school in August 2008.

Boyd has been athletic coordinator and head football coach at Ellison High School in Killeen since 2001. In 2005, his football team was the District 16-4A champion and reached the regional finals. In 2006, the school was reclassified to District 13-5A and finished second.

From 1996 to 2001, Boyd served as athletic coordinator and head football coach at Harlingen High School. Under Boyd’s leadership, the team had a 39-16 record in five seasons, winning two district championships and advancing to the regional finals twice and the area finals in 2000.

He previously worked at Royal High in Brookshire and McKinney High School.

Boyd was named District 32-5A Coach of the Year and Rio Grande Valley Coach of the Year in both 1996 and 1997. He was nominated as the All-Star Football Coach for Region 7 and was part of the District 16-4A Coaching Staff of the Year in 2005.

“Having been in the playoffs for the past three years, he has the knowledge about what it takes to build a program that is playoff-caliber,” Memorial principal Al Richard said in a press release.

“He has a vision of success for all students, not just football, which is important in an athletic coordinator," Gooden said in a press release. “We are extremely excited to welcome Bret Boyd to the Goose Creek CISD athletic family. Coach Boyd’s athletic experience, including his background as a head football coach and athletic coordinator, make him a perfect fit as the person to build the athletic department at Goose Creek Memorial High School.  We believe that the athletes and coaches at Goose Creek Memorial will benefit greatly from his knowledge, leadership, commitment and work ethic."
