Mike Lewis enters his third year on the coaching staff as the Varsity Defensive Coordinator, bringing a lifetime of football excellence to the program. A 1980 graduate of Detroit Catholic Central, Lewis played three years of varsity football before earning a scholarship to Eastern Michigan University, where he was a four-year letterman and graduate in 1985. Coach Lewis brings decades of elite coaching experience to Howell, having spent the majority of his career coaching at De La Salle High School in Warren, alongside stints at Detroit Catholic Central, University of Detroit Jesuit High School, Plymouth High School, and Father Gabriel Richard. Professionally, Coach Lewis is a retired educator who spent most of his career teaching in the Royal Oak Schools. Family is at the center of his life; Mike and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 41 years and have two sons. Their oldest son, Matt, and his wife, Courtney, have blessed them with three grandchildren: Jack, Charlotte, and Elliot. Their youngest son, Brian—who serves as Howell’s head football coach—and his wife, Teddi, have also blessed them with three grandchildren: Evelyn, Abraham, and Sunny.
