Richard Reed 
Athletics Director
Head Football Coach/Defensive Coordinator
Coach Reed joined us in 2009, bringing an impressive 10 years of both coaching and on-the-field experience to our student athletes. While playing football for the University of Oklahoma as a defensive end from 1982-1987, Coach Reed played in the Big Eight Championship games in 1984, 1985, and 1986. In 1985, he was a member of the National Championship team, and in 1987, he graduated with a BA in communication and received an Academic All Big-Eight award. After graduation, he went on to play as a defensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, making the team as a free-agent (non-drafted player) and playing in the SuperBowl that same year. He coached outside linebackers at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, GA, and became the defensive coordinator of Northview High School in Duluth, GA.
Coach Reed and his family feel blessed about being a part of Grace Prep.
"Initially, I was drawn to Grace Prep by the reputation and rich tradition. But after taking a closer look, I realized the true uniqueness of the “Grace Family” atmosphere, and I wanted to be a part of it."
