Even though he hadn’t coached in years, Coach Mo

Even though he hadn’t coached in years, Coach Morgan was a staple at many home (and away) boys basketball games, even when he was battling Parkinson’s disease. This video from 2020 of one of the last home games he was able to attend shows how his legacy lives on. Even over a decade after his last year of coaching, our students recognize the impact he had the south county youth. These players have parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, and even grandparents who felt Coach’s impact.

There will be a Celebration of Life at Colonel Richardson High School in the gymnasium bearing his name on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 10:00 AM in which anyone who wishes to share their thoughts about Merrill will have the opportunity to speak.

It is with sadness that we share the passing of Mr

It is with sadness that we share the passing of Mr. Merrill Morgan, a former school counselor and legendary coach at Colonel Richardson High School. Coach Morgan was a counselor and boys basketball coach for over 35 years at CRHS, earning over 500 career victories and numerous trips to the state championships. Our school gym is named in his honor.

More important than Coach Morgan’s statistics was his significant impact on the youth of Preston and Federalsburg. He was responsible for creating numerous opportunities for kids in south Caroline County to be involved and be part of a team. Thousands of kids in Preston and Federalsburg were given memorable experiences they wouldn’t have had if it wasn't for Coach Morgan.

What made Coach Morgan special at CRHS was how he not only coached, but how he influenced and supported his players and students. He created a culture on the CRHS basketball team of respect, family, and love. He set out to create young athletes that would become upstanding adults. He focused on creating relationships with his students that extended beyond the court. He was not just a school counselor and a coach, but a friend, trusted adult, and father-figure to thousands of students and athletes throughout his life.

Everyone at CRHS extends their sincere condolences to his family. If you have special memories of Coach Morgan, please share in the comments!

Welcome to our new front office and attendance sec

Welcome to our new front office and attendance secretary, Mrs. Emily Phillips. She is a 1987 graduate of CRHS and is the proud mom of two Colonels, Todd and Annie. Mrs. Phillips is a graduate of both Washington College and Salisbury University with degrees in political science and elementary education. After teaching five years at Denton Elementary School and then taking some years off to raise a young family, she has most recently completed her 9th year at Federalsburg Elementary School as the enrollment and attendance secretary. In her free time, Mrs. Phillips loves gardening, going to the beach, reading, and kayaking. She's very happy to be "home" at CRHS. #ColonelTOUGH #homegrown @washcoll @salisburyuniversity
