Coach Haezebrouck Named Head Coach

Everest Collegiate High School is pleased to announce that Coach John Haezebrouck will be returning to coach the Mountaineers varsity boys soccer team in the fall of 2027.

Coach Haezebrouck is EC soccer's founding coach, previously leading the Mountaineers from 2011 to 2022. Under his tenure, he lead the Mountaineers to four consecutive district titles from 2019 to 2022, three regional titles, and the team's first trip to the state finals in 2021. His legacy has continued under the leadership of Coach Tom Strach for the last four years. The Mountaineers have won eight consecutive district titles and made their fourth state semifinal appearance this season.

While Coach Haezebrouck took a few years off to coach his sons in Everest's lower school, he remained familiar face in the stands supporting the varsity squad and returned each year for the annual alumni game. He is looking forward to what the future will bring: "It is a privilege to return to a program that means so much to me. I am humbled by the responsibility of leading it again. Coach Strach has done an outstanding job over the past four years, and I have tremendous respect for what his teams have accomplished. I am excited for what lies ahead and look forward to next season."

Everest thanks Coach Strach for his years of dedication to EC soccer, serving as assistant coach of the varsity girls team for five years before leading the boys team since 2023.
