Congratulations to our very own Mr. Poyer!

Winningest Baseball Coach in Hackettstown High School History!

We are excited to share our original song from Hackettstown Middle School’s 150th School Year Anniversary Concert on May 14, 2026: Tigers Today.

The audio in this video is from our live concert performance, paired with the slideshow created by Kim Andrusin and shown during the finale.

Thanks to a grant from the Hackettstown Foundation for Educational Excellence, we were able to commission this piece and work with musician Casey Gorab throughout the creative process, sharing drafts and ideas with our students until we arrived at the final version.

This performance reflects a collaborative effort across our school community, involving students, alumni, staff, and former staff on stage and behind the scenes. We are proud of our students and grateful to everyone who helped make this celebration possible. We hope you enjoy it!

“Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the education system” - Sidney Hook

Please take a moment to show or tell a teacher how thankful you are for them. It will only take a few minutes of your time but the effort will last a lifetime for a teacher.
