MEET THE STAFF.

One staff. One standard. One purpose.

Head Football Coach

Robert Winn Jr.

A native of Dallas, Texas, Coach Robert Winn Jr. enters his 12th season in coaching and his first as head football coach at Stone Mountain. He previously served as the offensive coordinator at Frederick Douglass High School, where his 2022–2025 offenses averaged 26 points and 270 yards per game while producing 39 passing touchdowns. Compared with the two seasons before that era, those results represented increases of 82% in scoring, 42% in total offense, and 107% in passing touchdowns.

“Coach Winn's purpose reaches far beyond the scoreboard. His goal is to help young men become successful in the classroom, in their communities, and in life—with football serving as the vessel to teach discipline, accountability, confidence, brotherhood, and perseverance.”
