The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees named Joe Willis as the new head football coach for Colleyville Heritage High School on June 1.

“I am so excited to be in a district like GCISD and a coach at Colleyville Heritage,” Willis said. “We have a great coaching staff, and together we will continue to build something special for the community, parents and students of Colleyville Heritage.”

Willis replaces Darren Allman, who was hired in May as Carroll ISD’s director of athletics. Willis has 23 years experience in education. For the past six years he served as the head football coach and athletic director at Cedar Park High School in Leander ISD and five years as assistant coach.
