As long-time veteran David Aymond steps into his new role as GPISD’s Boys’ Athletic Coordinator, Jon Kay, eighteen year veteran of the District, takes the helm of the North Shore Senior High School Mustang football program.

Kay began his career as a science teacher and assistant coach at Cunningham Middle School in 1996. That was the beginning of a long, successful career which has landed Kay the job of his dreams North Shore Senior High School Head Football Coach.

Kay has served in many roles over the span of his career: head freshman coach, defensive assistant, varsity secondary coach, recruiting coordinator, strength and conditioning coordinator, defensive coordinator, assistant head coach and athletic campus coordinator.

Kay has been honored as the 2010 Greater Houston Coaches’ Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Also, he has been invited to speak at numerous Texas coaching clinics. Although Kay has no easy task ahead of him as he accepts the new challenge and sets his sights on yet another coveted state championship for the team’s trophy case, there is no doubt he has the experience required for such a challenge. He has devoted countless hours as a member of the Mustang program for the past sixteen years, and he knows what it takes to get to the next level.

Dr. Angi Williams, Superintendent of Schools, stated, “We have phenomenally talented young men at North Shore Senior High School. With this transition, our expectations remain unchanged as we continue to focus on the development of young adults with an emphasis on academic excellence, exceptional sportsmanship and character development. The lives of these students are successfully molded by strong role models, and Jon Kay is, without a doubt, one who will serve our students well. I am proud and honored to have him serve in that capacity for our entire Mustang program.”
