This, my coach in HS was also AD for the School.


I went to a Houston area 5A (Now 6A) school and our HC was also the AD as well. I didn't realize it was something so common and figured it was just because our school district was cheap.

I would imagine a good bit of them making in the six figures this article is talking about are also the AD as well.

the vast majority are ... they are paid a salary as an administrator with a masters, so they're already bumping the 70-80s, and they get a 5-figure stipend as hc, in addition to whatever the local spirit club/donor club gives them, if any, so $100000 is not exactly eye-popping ... most don't teach a class, at least not the ones employed by a 5A or 6A school ... but they might teach 1 or 2 health classes or PE classes for athletes ... anyone teaching in public ed should be aware of their salary and not shocked by it ...
