John Glenn's High School football coach Dave Shanahan is retiring.
Shanahan has been the head man in charge of the Elwood football program for more than 30 years and has decided at 56 years old to hang up the whistle.
Shanahan not only was the head football coach, but also taught physical education and health at John Glen for 30 years. He began his career in 1995 and has taken the role as the school's athletic director for the past nine years.
He will remain in the AD position as an interim for the 2025-2026 school year before stepping away entirely from the district, but will step down from coaching and teaching immediately.
Coach Shanahan was also inducted into the Sachem Hall of Fame in 2022.
