Fishers High School went north in Indiana to find a successor to long-time football coach Rick Wimmer.  Curt Funk was approved as the new varsity football coach and physical education teacher at Fishers.  Funk comes from Mississinewa High School.

“(Funk) endured a very rigorous interview process,” Fishers Principal Jason Urban told the board. “We have been very impressed with the kind of program he’s been able to build in his ten years as head coach  at Mississinewa High School.”

“I appreciate the opportunity and am very grateful to be here as part of the Fishers community,” Funk told board members.  “We’re excited to get started.”

The Fishers job opened-up when Wimmer announced that he would retire from coaching, but remain a physical education teacher at Fishers High School.
