Guest Speaker Justin Hicks ’09 Justin Hicks ’09 is a familiar face around the Tower Hill campus as he has

been coaching with our football and track teams the last two years. Justin was a multiple sport star in his time at Tower Hill. He was a standout wide receiver for Coach Kevin Waesco, a key member of Coach Thom Shumosic’s basketball teams and a baseball player until his junior year. Frustrated by something called a curve ball, Justin joined the track team his junior year at Tower Hill, and as they say, “ the rest was history.” Justin went on to win state championships in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes and caught the eye of the track coaches at Bucknell University.

Justin earned his Bachelor of Science/Neuroscience degree from Bucknell and graduated in 2013 but not before setting school records in the 60 meter dash, 200 meter dash and the 400 meter relay. He ranks second in Bucknell history in the 100 meter dash, just hundredths of a second behind the school record. A remarkable career by any standard.

Justin has commented, “Although I was a speedster on the football field, I never suspected that my speed would translate to track. If it were not for Tower Hill’s athletic policy and the encouragement of Coach Tracy Griffith, my accomplishments on the track would never have been achieved.”

Justin is currently employed as a math and science teacher with Teach for America here in Wilmington.

Tower Hill School Trustees’ Sportsmanship Statement The Tower Hill Board of Trustees believes that athletic competition is an integral part of the educational and developmental process of our students and that many important lessons are taught through athletic experience. Therefore, athletics are a fundamental part of the total curriculum at Tower Hill, fulfilling our motto of “Multa Bene Facta,” Many Things Done Well. The objectives of coaches and teachers are identical: to help young people reach their fullest potential intellectually, emotionally and physically. Accordingly, sportsmanship − the demonstration of appropriate conduct, honest rivalry and graceful acceptance of the outcome − is as important as the full development of athletic skills. Critical to these teachings is the expectation that our community, as well as our athletes, will demonstrate respect for everyone involved in athletic competition.
