May 11, 2022 -Eisenhower High School has announced the hiring of DaJuan Johnson as the new head football coach.
Board of Education members voted unanimously in favor of hiring Coach Johnson during their board meeting Tuesday night. A native of Chicago, Johnson played football at Joliet Junior College and Lincoln University before transferring to Millikin University in 2009. He began his coaching career at Millikin while completing his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Sport. Johnson has since coached at Southeast High School in Springfield and has served in many assistant coaching roles at Eisenhower High School since 2012.
Coach Johnson has consistently served as an Assistant Coach for Eisenhower for the past four football seasons and is a familiar face to many of our student-athletes. “We are thrilled that Coach Johnson is moving into this leadership role for our football program,” said Benny Phillips, EHS Athletic Director. “DaJuan knows our kids and is committed to ensuring our football program continues to grow and flourish under his guidance. We look forward to a great season starting this August.”
