James “Nikki” Rowe Head Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator Robert Flores has elected to step down from both positions, effective immediately.
Coach Flores served in both capacities for the past nine seasons (since 2016). He began his career in coaching 25 years ago at Rowe, the same school where he graduated in 1995.
“After careful consideration, I feel it is in the best interest of my family to step down,” Flores said. “I am grateful for the opportunity and the experience I have gained in my time at Nikki Rowe High. I appreciate the support and collaboration over the years from my coaching staff, administration, parents and, most of all, my student athletes.”
The search has already begun for a new Head Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator to take over the Rowe Athletic Program.
“We deeply appreciate Coach Flores for his hard work and leadership in orchestrating Rowe athletics and Rowe football,” Superintendent Dr. René Gutiérrez said. “We wish him the very best in his future.”
