He is a licensed physical education teacher, will also be recommended as a paraprofessional employee for the District.
Hannan comes to Lakewood with an extensive coaching resume stretching over 35 years that includes 16 years as head coach at Crestwood High School in Mantua, where he earned the most wins of any coach in school history and twice earned Akron Touchdown Club Coach of the Year honors. He also served as Athletic Director for four years while at Crestwood from 1994-2010.
After his lengthy tenure at Crestwood, Hannan, a graduate of Mount Union College, held a variety of football coaching positions including offensive line coach at North Olmsted High School, head football coach at Ridgedale High School in Morral, Ohio, and assistant head coach at Cuyahoga Falls High School.
“It will be an honor and a privilege to be the next head coach of Lakewood High. I will do everything in my power to represent LHS and the community in a positive manner,” Hannan said. “I will hire a staff that are not only great teachers, but great role models.”
