A press conference will be held tomorrow at the Cannon County High School to announce his hire as CCHS Girls Soccer Head Coach.
Cliff Walker was hired in late December 2018 to replace Dorinda Walker (no relation to new Coach Walker) as the Microsoft Office, Retail Operations, & Personal Finance Teacher.

Soccer became his primary sport while in college where he played (mostly with) foreign exchange students.

He and his wife have 3 children who all play travel soccer. He has coached recreational and travel soccer for 9 years and holds his National Diploma with the NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America). His strong desire is to help players grow in their knowledge, skill and love of the game here in Cannon County.
CCHS Principal Courtney Nichols recommended him to Director of Schools William F. Curtis, and Mr. Curtis accepted his recommendation. Coach Cliff Walker has met with the CCHS Girls Soccer players numerous times this semester and looks forward to working with them.
Director of Cannon County Schools William F. Curtis stated, “We look forward to Mr. Walker’s teaching in the classroom, bringing his experiences from the business world to CCHS, demonstrating his in-depth soccer knowledge to assist our student athletes, and utilizing his coaching abilities to take our CCHS Girls Soccer program to the next level.
