An Asbury High School coach has been placed on administrative leave following an investigation into an alleged relationship with a student. The incident came to light when a staff member witnessed comments made by two students on November 17, 2025, suggesting a relationship between the coach and a student. This led to a series of meetings involving the staff member, the Assistant Principal, the AHS Principal, and the coach himself. The principal then notified the Deputy Superintendent and the Department of Human Resources on December 17, 2025, about the situation. The Marshall County Sheriff's Office was also informed, and the coach was placed on leave pending further investigation. The Alabama State Department of Education was notified the same day. The school district emphasized that there is no indication or suspicion of wrongdoing by any student at AHS, and they are committed to protecting the safety and integrity of every student. The coach's identity has not been disclosed at this time. The investigation is ongoing, and the school district is working to ensure a thorough and fair process.
