Oak Hills announces the hiring of Dan Scholz as the new head coach of the Highlander football program, pending board approval.
“With a proven track record of developing competitive teams and a coaching philosophy rooted in discipline, toughness, and accountability, Coach Scholz brings the kind of leadership that will elevate our program and inspire our student-athletes on and off the field,” Oak Hills athletic director Ben Hageman said in a release.
He replaces Justin Roden, who left earlier this week to coach Greater Miami Conference rival Fairfield.
Scholz has 30 years of coaching experience, with head coaching stops at New Richmond and Oak Hills. Most recently, Scholz was an assistant coach at Princeton, helping them win back-to-back Greater Miami Conference titles. He has an overall head coaching record of 49-32, being named his conference Coach of the Year on two occasions.
“Known for his passionate and energetic approach to the game as a head coach and coordinator, he has consistently built programs that are physically tough, mentally resilient, and grounded in strong fundamentals.,” Hageman said. “He strives to build teams that are not only competitive on Friday nights but also show the same integrity in the classroom and community. With our current situation, he represents the steady hand and unwavering leadership to guide our Highlanders to a successful 2025 football season and beyond.
“Scholz is committed to building strong relationships with players, parents, staff, and the broader community. He is excited to begin meeting with players and families, as he looks forward to starting this new chapter with energy and purpose.”
Scholz will be at practice beginning Monday.
