Bullard ISD athletic director and head football coach Scott Callaway to retire from coaching, continue role as district’s athletic director

Since 2017, Bullard Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Scott Callaway has made a positive impact on the Panther Athletics program in countless ways. Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, Coach Callaway will retire from his head coaching duties and continue solely as the district’s athletic director. 

“I have loved my football coaching career over the past 31 years,” Callaway said. “I have also loved being an athletic director, where I can support the growth and development of all school sports athletes and programs. I feel at this time in my career, primarily focusing on the athletic director role is best for our athletes and the growth we are experiencing in the program.”

Bullard ISD will begin its search for a new head football coach and teaching position. 

“For the past five years, Coach Callaway has poured his heart into our student-athletes,” Superintendent Dr. Jack Lee said. “Under his leadership, the Bullard ISD athletic program has excelled largely due to Coach Callaway's passion for students, his coaching staff, and the Bullard community. We are excited to see him continue our district’s mission of building relationships, inspiring our athletes, serving our community, and developing character as the athletics program grows.”
