After four years as the Varsity Knightline head coach, FHN social studies teacher Heather Box is stepping down from the position.

“I spent so many years learning and helping other girls and I enjoyed watching them grow and push themselves,” Box said. “I will miss the girls and all the reasons why I coached.”
After being the assistant coach on Knightline last year, math teacher Kelly Pierce will now assume
the role of head coach at FHN. She plans to bring her jazz-influenced background to the table and use it toward achieving several key goals.
“I want the girls to get along, have a positive year, and for everyone to enjoy each other,” Pierce said.
Despite the inevitable challenges associated with the installment of a new coach, the situation has a prevailing positive side.
“It might be a little rough at first,” junior Jodi Wurm said, “But she’ll have new ideas, different ways of teaching us, and new things to try.”
