🏈 Meet Coach Matt Dick!
We’re proud to introduce our Head Football Coach, Matt Dick, who just hit an incredible milestone — the most wins in Galion history with an outstanding 61 victories! 🎉
Coach Dick began his career at Galion in 2016 as Head Football Coach, bringing his background as a Math teacher and his passion for developing student-athletes both on and off the field. Before coming to Galion, he was an assistant fb coach at Madison for 4 years and then at Fredericktown for 6. We are so thankful he landed here. He not only holds the Head Coach position he also is the Principal at our Intermediate Building.
If we could describe him in a few words — humble, determined, and always there for the kids.
Matt and his wife, Sara, stay busy with their five children, each heading in their own directions at all times, but always cheering on the Tigers! 🐾💙🧡
Parents who navigate to Intermediate and Primary will have to enter the back way or through the HS staff parking lot.
Our Transportation Department, including drivers, aides, mechanics and admins is responsible for getting 750+students to and from school every day, that is 45% of our enrollment, along with covering more then 200K miles a year!

Rounding out our Principal Spotlights — our High School Principal, Mr. Vogt! He’s truly a jack of all trades: from coaching basketball for 34 years, to 18 years teaching High School English, serving as Athletic Director, Assistant Principal, and now leading GHS as Principal while also working toward his Doctorate. He really can do it all, and we are so grateful to have him as part of our Tiger family! 🐅👏
