David Lloyd
Coaching Experience: Coach Lloyd is starting his 17th year in teaching and coaching. He started his coaching career in 2007 at Central Holmes Christian School in Lexington, Mississippi where he was a History teacher, Director of Athletics, and Elementary Principal during his five years. In his first year, he led the team to their first playoff appearance in seven years and developed two All-State Players, two Region Players of the Year, and two All-Star Game participants. After getting married in 2012, he and his wife Anna both found teaching jobs that took them to Kestrel Heights School in Durham, North Carolina.
At Kestrel Heights, Coach Lloyd served as a Physical Education teacher and department chair, Assistant Athletic Director, and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator. On the gridiron, Lloyd took a program that was previously 0-40 to three consecutive playoff appearances (only appearances in school history), finished as Region Champion in his third year as head coach, increased his roster from 21 to 52 players and was selected as the North Carolina 1A Coach of the Year in 2015. He is currently the winningest coach in the history of the Kestrel Heights program. After the birth of his two twin daughters, Isabella and Violet (currently four years old), the couple looked to make a move closer to grandparents in north Alabama.
This will be Coach Lloyd's fourth year leading the Raiders. Since his arrival in 2020, the Raiders have been to four consecutive playoffs (tied for the school record), three consecutive first round home playoff games (school record), and is currently the winningest coach in program history. The football team made program history when it reached the quarterfinals of the AHSAA State Playoffs in the 2022-2023 season.
Personal Details: Lloyd will teach Health and Human Performance classes in the Upper School at Randolph. He earned his BS in History, with a Minor in Kinesiology, from Mississippi College and is currently enrolled in graduate school at the University of West Florida. Along with his teaching and coaching duties, Coach Lloyd was named the Sports Information Director for Randolph Athletics in 2023.
