New Trier is a crazy Chicago burb shool....starting salary:

BA year 1 = $51,225
Masters with 20 years = $111,875
Master teacher with 20 years = $118,230

Most other Chicago area school are in the 45K range starting....

Where I live, most starting pay is in the middle to upper 30K range.


If you are going to argue a point, at least get factual information to back up your side.....

Coach Y , Thanks.
James, that is a big amount of money, I asked cause I figured that the cost of living in you area would be much higher then here in SC. You have a 1st year teacher making almost as much as I do with 21 years in. But if would even out I think due to the price of day to day living and the cost of housing.

Bill Pierce, Columbia




I've worked for 5 different AD's, including 2 women. The character of the person seems to matter more, in my experience, than the sport they coach. I'm very fortunate now in the situation here at Midland Valley. I hope everyone gets to experience the peace of a great AD.

I don't get it! I know I am of a simple mind but the math just doesn't add up. This is not college football.

Let's just say a HS football coach makes $80k/yr. (not including benefits which would run 25-35% of salary = approx. $100K/yr)

Attendence 2,000 a game, 6 homes, $6ea = $72,000

Thus the gate doesn't cover the head coach salary let alone the asst. staff, ref crew, etc.

No wonder those booster clubs are busy and active!

Thus, which sport cost a school district more: football or soccer????

At some schools, the Booster Club effectively pays coaching stipends ... especially for assistants. Personally, I find the idea of a H.S. FB staff numbering in double figures a bit of a joke. And hiring teachers precisely because they'll coach (instead of devote full effort to teaching) an even bigger joke.

Most big schools pay this much or more. Our program brings in about $150,000 at the gate, and pays out about $200,000 in coaching salaries. The key is the head coach was being paid by the district, so hocus, focus, pocus, they make $30,000. If you can not add, and or subtract, that is what you believe.

Geenville county does it right. A set salary across the whole county. Our county has 7 districts with 7 different pay policies, procedures and ways to pay coaches way too much. Unfortunetly it is like the nuclear arms race, spend baby, spend to win. Spartanburg is currently shopping for a good coach, no duties except to win, $100,000 Cash on the barrel head.
