School Board Recognizes Coach John Strawoet

The following is from the Perkiomen Valley School District website:

The School Board (recognized) Coach John Strawoet, a retired Perkiomen Valley School District teacher who has given back to our community by serving as a coach for various student athletic teams. He is being honored for his outstanding record as the Perkiomen Valley High School ninth-grade girls basketball coach.

His history of coaching winning teams extends back to the 2008-09 school year, when the girls were 8-3. The following year, the girls team finished 9-3 and won its last two games. That led into a 25-game winning streak and two back-to-back, undefeated seasons in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

Prior to coaching the ninth-grade girls team, Coach Strawoet was an eighth-grade girls basketball coach at Perkiomen Valley Middle School East. His coaching talents don’t end with basketball, however. For the past four years, he has served as the head coach of the Perkiomen Valley Middle School West seventh-grade football team.

His coaching career has spanned 37 years and includes basketball and football at all levels from seventh grade up to Division II college. The School Board is proud to publicly honor Coach Strawoet for his coaching talent and his willingness to continue giving back to students following a 33-year teaching career.
