Archbishop Shaw High School Community,
After a thorough interview process with many accomplished and deserving candidates, the
Archbishop Shaw High School Leadership team would like to formally announce that Mr. Chad
Foret will be taking over as the Head Baseball Coach at Archbishop Shaw following this season.
Coach Foret is a proud alum of the Archbishop Shaw Class of 1995. While attending Shaw he
proudly played on the baseball team for four years, three under Coach Pat O’Shea and his
senior year under Coach David Baudry. After graduating, Coach Foret played multiple years
under Coach Joe Schuermann at Delgado Community College. Coach Foret is in his fifth
season coaching with the Eagles and currently serves as the Assistant Varsity Coach and Head
Junior Varsity Coach.
When asked what it means to be named the Archbishop Shaw Head Baseball Coach and to be
taking over for Coach Doug Faust, Coach Foret responded “It has always been a goal of mine,
as an alum, to come home and coach here at Shaw. But to be the Head Coach is a dream
come true. The opportunity to be an assistant coach under Coach Faust has taught me so many
things between the white lines. He not only teaches his players, but his coaches as well, the
importance of culture and character in your program. He instilled in me the desire to do my very
best to help guide each player to have the best high school experience possible on and off the
field.”
Coach Foret’s message to the Shaw community is that “Culture and Character will remain a
major focal point in the Archbishop Shaw Baseball program. I believe that this will lead to
success on the field and more importantly off the field. Baseball is a tool that we use to help us
prepare for the challenges that life has in store for us. Competing and learning from our
successes and failures will make us better citizens in the community, brothers with your
teammates, and eventually husbands and fathers for their families. Coach Faust has shown that
the winning ways of the past is still very possible here at Shaw. We will strive to always play
hard and tough like Shaw Eagles should and our players and coaches thank you for your
continued support of our program.”
The Archbishop Shaw Administration, Faculty, and Staff congratulates Coach Chad Foret and
wish him the best in this new adventure.
