HAYS, Kan. – Thomas More Prep-Marian is pleased to announce the new faculty and coaching staff members that will be joining the Monarch Family for the 2016-2017 academic year.
The departure of John Montgomery at the end of the past school year left a vacancy for head football coach and high school business teacher. The new head coach of Monarch football is Jason Cauley who most recently was head coach at Moanalua High School, a 2,000-student school near the southern shore of Honolulu, Hawai’i.
Cauley is a native of Mobile, Ala. and has been playing and coaching football all his life. Following a successful high school career, Cauley played at Mississippi College before transferring to the University of West Alabama. Following the events of 9/11, Cauley enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a Cavalry Scout (19D). After his time in the The Army, Cauley returned back home to work as an assistant for 7A Murphy High School in Mobile on the coaching staff of Rick Cauley, his brother. After a move to Hawai’i, in 2011, Cauley served as offensive coordinator and QB coach for Moanalua, then filled that same role for Kapolei High School for two years before taking the head coaching position at Moanalua. Over the years, Cauley has earned many honors and achievements, both as a player and coach, including multiple playoff appearances. Cauley, his wife, Amanda, and their two children, Liam (4) and Layla (2), will be moving to Hays to join the Monarch family this summer.
“I grew up around the game, and I value the chance to help young men learn the game and the values of respect, excellence, integrity, service, loyalty, and tradition that it teaches. I knew I wanted to coach in a private, Christian environment,” Cauley said. “Hays is just the kind of family-oriented community we’re looking for. I’m excited to be a part of the Monarch family from our alumni roots to our current and future students and families.”
In addition to his coaching duties, Cauley will teach social studies, weights, and study skills classes at TMP-Marian.
