We're thrilled to announce that Westin is the first official Mini Minuteman to enroll in our *NEW* Concord Mini Minutemen Preschool! Westin's mom, Heather Cline, is a math teacher at Concord Junior High and had this to say: "I am so excited to have my son Westin start this new adventure so that he can begin his education at Concord just like his brother Brantley, and be a Mini Minuteman! We love Concord and know he’ll receive the best care and start to his education. Westin can’t wait to be at the same school as his brother and already says, ‘Go Minutemen!’” – Heather Cline Enrollment for the public opens TOMORROW, so don’t miss out on the chance to enroll your 4-year-old for this exciting new program!

Concord Community Schools is announcing a transition in the boys basketball program at Concord HIgh School. At the next School Board meeting, the administration will recommend the approval of Derrick DeShone as Concord High School Dean of Students, filling an administrative position soon to be vacated by the retirement of Denise Tahara. In this role, Mr. DeShone will work with attendance and discipline. Since joining Concord in 2018, Coach DeShone has reinvigorated our youth basketball program, improved the success of the program and recently led the Minutemen to a conference championship. Mr. DeShone and his wife, Allison DeShone, are committed members of the Concord community. Allison is a kindergarten teacher at Concord East Side Elementary School. We appreciate Mr. DeShone’s years of service to Concord basketball and look forward to his success in his next position. With this transition, we are beginning the search for a new head Boys Basketball coach to ensure a smooth process and strong leadership for our student athletes. The search for the next head Boys Basketball coach will soon begin, and we are committed to finding a leader who will build on the program’s strengths.
