Save the Garfield High School Girls Basketball Program

The Issue

Recently on 9/24 the  Garfield Girls basketball head coach was forced out of his position. This decision had no regard for the girls wellbeing, and was unethical. Our season starts in 1.5 months, and they decided to get rid of our coach, there is no time to find a qualified replacement. We all have such a great relationship with  our coach and are devastated to see him go for no logical reason. Something similar to this has already happened with our football program and it has fallen apart due to the lack of preparation, and we don't want the same to happen with our historically great basketball team. Our legacy cannot be ruined! Help our voices be heard by signing this petition.
