Coupeville High School is staying in-house with the selection of its next cheer coach.
Jennifer Morrell, who works as a nurse for the school and is a former Wolf cheerleader, has been recommended for the position, CHS Principal Geoff Kappes confirmed.
Her hiring will be official when the school board approves it Aug. 23 at their monthly meeting.
Morrell, who patrolled the sidelines for Coupeville’s cheer squad in the mid-’90s, replaces BreAnna Boon, who stepped away to focus more time on an off-Island job and her children’s ever-expanding athletic endeavors.
Former CHS cheer guru Sylvia Arnold is through the roof over seeing one of her former athletes follow in her footsteps.
“Jen was an amazing cheerleader for Coupeville High School back in my early coaching days! Back in 1995!!,” Arnold said.
“She is going to be exceptional as a coach … one who will bring the spirit back into our exhausted sports programs!
“She definitely understands what it means to be a part of Coupeville, a caregiver of lives, and a conduit of joy in the midst of uncertainty!!”
