On June 18, 2019, Jason Eastman was wrongfully let go as the varsity softball coach at Glencoe High School (Hillsboro OR) by the Glencoe principal, Glencoe athletic director and Hillsboro School District Director of Extracurricular Activities, given no actual or valid reason for the firing. While part of the program, coach Eastman has led his team to 3 consecutive conference titles, played in a state championship game, was undefeated in league 2019, was the 2019 Pacific Conference coach of the year, had every starter receive all conference honors in 2019, had the Les Schwab 6A team of the month for Oregon in May 2019, has aided in helping countless players in their dream to be a college athlete, has spent countless hours fundraising for the program and new hitting facility among many other contributions. Glencoe’s softball program is one of the most successful in school history both on the field and in the classroom (team gpa 3.56). Players and parents were not contacted in advance of this decision despite a letter from the principal and AD stating that they “assured having the best interest of the program at heart”. We would like this decision reversed and want Coach Eastman reinstated as the varsity softball coach at Glencoe High School, effective immediately.

I have requested a formal meeting with the Hillsboro School District administration to discuss the lack of transparency regarding this personnel decision. We are currently drafting a legal request for all public records related to the termination process. Expect another update as soon as the district responds to these inquiries.

He is such an amazing man and coach. I find it appalling that the year Glencoe gets their beautiful turf fields (thanks to Jason's hard work and dedication) all of a sudden he's let go. Disgusting! Hoping this makes the news and the school feels the pressure! Do the right thing Glencoe HS and HSD!

Jason is the best coach I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He helped my daughter navigate thru college recruiting process. And he even helped her get into a college that is a great fit for her academically and a perfect spot for her college softball career.

As an alumni from Southridge who played softball against Glencoe, they were ALWAYS the best team we’ve ever played. Their coaching staff is incredible, their players are incredible, the whole program is incredible. You can’t let a coach like that go.

It’s understandable if there had been issues or concerns voiced by parents but we KNOW that was NOT the case. Jason and his coaching staff are not only dedicated to the players on the field but off as well. This is a HUGE loss for the GHS Softball program. HUGE.

This is my father. The best man I’ve truly ever known in my entire life. I’ve seen first hand the effort and love he has poured into glencoe softball’s program. From a softball players stand point, he has not only helped hundreds of girls with the game but helped multiple play at the next level.

Reinstate Jason plain and simple. I have coached against Jason in both club ball and at the varsity level. Jason has always done things the right way and has always had the best interest of the girls. One of the best coaches and human beings I’ve ever met!!!

Very poor decision on the part of Glencoe and HSD once again. Good luck finding a coach like Jason who has done nothing but continued to grow and build this amazing softball program. This is a total disservice to these athletes and future athletes!
