While he may just be listed as a principal at Cedartown High School, Hal David is taking multitasking to a whole new level.

Not only is David doing his normal principal duties at Cedartown, but he has also been going to bat for the Bulldogs athletic program recently.

When Cedartown was placed into Region 6-AAA for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years with teams as far away as Columbus, David was quick to act and appeal to the Georgia High School Reclassification Committee.

He, along with Assistant Principal Barry Williams, then made the trek to Thomaston Wednesday to go before the Georgia High School Association.

David was able to successfully present his hardship to the committee and get Cedartown moved into Region 7-AAA, sub-region ‘B’ for the next two school years with schools much closer to Polk County.

The very next day, David was in meetings with the schools in Region 7-AAA, trying to work out a football schedule for the next two years. David was once again successful in that venture, lining up what appears to be a solid football schedule with five home games and five away.

And while David has been doing all that, he has also been taking applications as Cedartown High looks for a new head football coach and athletic director.

“We have had 56 people apply,” David said. “We have not done any interviews yet. The job posting did not close out until Dec. 14 and with us getting out of school for the holidays on Dec. 18 we felt it was best to wait until January to start interviewing candidates.”

David was able to speak more about the football schedule that he helped finalize on Thursday.

“We will scrimmage Pepperell on Aug. 13 and open the regular season on Aug. 27 at Rockmart,” David said. “At the region meeting we decided to play two crossover games along with our five sub-region games. We then drew Ridgeland and Southeast Whitfield as our crossover opponents.

“We will also end the regular season with a region play-in game like we’ve done the past two years. That only left us with two non-region games, but we were able to work out a date to play Rockmart.”
