Ernie Simpson
Not too long after Director of Human Resources for Clay Community Schools and Northview assistant football coach Ernie Simpson, 42, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, tributes began pouring in on social media from a variety of coaches and football programs among many others that knew him.
Northview head girls basketball coach Zack Keyes, Northview head baseball coach Craig Trout and Northview head boys tennis coach Emily Goff were among those to write a note on Twitter or Facebook, thanking Simpson for the person he was.
I will never forget the conversation Principal Simpson and I had in the hallway of Northview High School. He encouraged me to go back to College for teaching. He will be greatly missed, said Keyes on Twitter.
He was 42.
Simpson was the principal at Northview High School from June 2012 to June 2015 before taking over the Human Resources position. He came to Northview from South Vermillion, where he had been an assistant principal from June 2011 to May 2012.
Prior to that, Simpson was a health/P.E. teacher and head football coach at North Vermilion from June 2009 to May 2011.
He was a graduate of South Vermillion High School and Franklin College, where he played offensive line on the football team.
At Thursday nights board of trustees, Superintendent Jeff Fritz announced that the lights at the Northview football field would be on all evening and all day and night on Friday.
