Jared Little has been named St. Francis High School’s new head lacrosse coach. Coach Little brings lacrosse experience, both as a player and coach, along with a Christocentric approach to athletics, to the position at St. Francis.

While pursuing an undergraduate degree in religious studies from the University of Virginia, Little was a member of the school’s lacrosse team that won national championships in 2002 and 2006. In addition, Little holds a Master of Education in social foundations and leadership from the University of Virginia. He also earned a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.

Little has a strong background in ministry as well as coaching. Most recently, he served as the pastor of Family Ministries at Springfield Church in Bozeman, Montana, from 2012-16. Prior to that he worked as the head lacrosse coach at Chaminade College Preparatory School in West Hills, California from 2010-12.

“We are thrilled to have Jared joining us St. Francis,” said school Athletic Director Matt Luderer. “His lacrosse background is impressive, but it’s his approach to athletics and character development that sets him apart. His Christocentric coaching style is completely congruent with the philosophy of St. Francis High School.”
