Mascoma Valley Regional High School will welcome veteran coach Shannon Gould to lead the Royals Girls Varsity Soccer team for the 2026-27 season.
Gould comes to Mascoma from Oxbow High School in Bradford, Vt., where she was named Northern Vermont Athletic Conference Mountain Coach of the Year last fall.
“I am excited to join MVRHS after nearly 30 years of coaching. I am thrilled to become part to the Mascoma community and look forward to building a positive and competitive program while helping student-athletes grow as players, teammates, leaders and young adults,” Gould said. “The best teams that I’ve coached weren’t defined by talent alone; they were defined by their culture, work ethic and belief in each other.”
Gould began her coaching career at Sunapee High School, where she helped start the girls varsity soccer program. In 1998, she was named the N.H. Coaches Association Coach of the Year.
She also has coached at Lebanon High School, leading them to their only state title in 2010, and at Randolph Union High School in Randolph, Vt.
“Coach Gould has had success everywhere she has coached,” Athletic Director Stephen Stebbins said. “Beyond wins and losses, she has the leadership qualities and commitment to student-athlete development that match Mascoma’s values. We are confident she will lead the Royals to a new chapter of excellence.”
Gould will be moving to Canaan in the coming months.
