My name is Darrell Demastus, but many people know me as Coach Demastus or "Coach D." I have been the Assistant Principal - Athletic Director at Cartersville High School for the past 12 years. Before stepping into this position, I taught math at Cartersville High School for ten years and Carterville Middle School for one year. Before becoming a Purple Hurricane, I taught math at Dalton High School for six years, Dalton Middle School for two years, and Lakeview High School for one year.

My wife, Karen Greeson Demastus, and I have three children Crystal, Joey, and Christian. I am a huge Tennessee Vols fan but an even bigger fan of the Cartersville Hurricanes.
