Thank you for helping us celebrate his lasting impact on generations of
Comets.

On May 17th, our very deserving Senior, Michael McGinnity, received the NJSIAA Scholar Athlete award/scholarship.

We've been so proud to have you represent our BLUE and GOLD, Mikey! 💙💛

The NJSIAA Scholar Athlete program is an annual award presented by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) that honors outstanding graduating seniors who excel in academics, athletics, and community citizenship.

Congratulations, Boys! And what a way to honor Mr. Whiting! 💙💛

There are some people whose presence becomes woven into the fabric of a school community.
Gordon "Scooter" Whiting was one of those people, and for generations, the story and tradition of Hackensack Athletics has included his name.

There are truly no words for the loss our Hackensack community is feeling today.

Through the years, Scooter served our schools in many roles - teacher, coach, dean, assistant principal, mentor, leader, and Athletic Director - but to so many, he was simply "Coach." No matter the title, his purpose always stayed the same: supporting and believing in our student-athletes.

We extend our deepest condolences to Scooter's family, friends, former students, athletes, colleagues, and everyone mourning this tremendous loss alongside us. His care and commitment to Hackensack will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Coach. We love you. You will be so deeply missed. 💙💛
