Honoring Coach Paschall’s Legacy

On May 15 the St. Stephen’s community gathered in Clayton Gymnasium to celebrate the unveiling and dedication of the newly refinished gym floor, honoring the service of Coach David Paschall. For more than 30 years, Coach Paschall served Spartans as director of athletics, adviser, member of the history department faculty, and coach of the football, basketball and baseball teams. The new gym floor, which bears his signature, stands as a reminder of his tremendous dedication to our school.
 
“Coach Paschall's contributions to St. Stephen's athletic program could never be fully articulated,” said Jon McCain, director of athletics. “He was the face of St. Stephen's to so many people, and I believe that much of our reputation as a school has been built on the back of his good work and grace.
 
“He touched so many lives of adults and students alike at the school that I felt strongly he should be remembered in a tangible way,” McCain continued. “His name on the court will surely entice our current students to ask, 'Who was Coach Paschall?’ With a smile on my face, I hope to get the chance to answer this question a thousand times or more.”
