Coach Kenny Barrera has accepted the position of Head Boys Soccer Coach at PJSHS.
With confidence and enthusiasm, Coach Barrera shared his mission for the program.

"I plan to build a program that is built on culture first, where players buy into hard work, discipline, teamwork, and accountability while becoming the best version of themselves on and off the field. I also want to give all respect to Coach Dominguez, as he laid the foundation for this program during his time here, and I plan to continue building off what he started while creating a program our school and community can be proud of. My goal is to establish a competitive program that consistently represents Palatka with pride, intensity, professionalism, and character both on and off the field."
