NORTHWEST JERSEY ATHLETIC CONFERENCE SCHOOL DIRECTORY 2013-14 http://www.nwjerseyac.com Sportsmanship is our Priority 1 ABOUT THE NORTHWEST JERSEY ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference was formed during the 2008-09 school year, as a result of the realignment of the conferences in Northern and Central New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Association (NJSIAA). The NJAC consists of schools in all of Morris and Sussex Counties. All the schools in Sussex County were part of the Sussex County Interscholastic League (SCIL). The schools in Morris County were part of three conferences, depending on enrollments: • Colonial Hills Conference (CHC) • Iron Hills Conference (IHC) • Northern Hills Conference (NHC) The schools were realigned under a plan by the NJSIAA to save costs on transportation and to restore the rivalries between various schools in the area. It gives a chance for neighboring schools to play each other. The NJSIAA had spent a year researching the details and learned that many conferences had schools in three or four counties. For example, the Northern Hills Conference had schools in Morris, Essex, and Passaic Counties. In December 2008, Hackettstown, not wanting to travel long distances and make sure that student athletes do not lose time in class, decided to leave the Skyland Conference, which consists of schools in Hunterdon, Warren, and Somerset Counties, and join the NJAC, so that they could play schools that are closer to the Warren County high school. During the 2010-11 school year, North Warren Regional also cited that they did not want to travel long distances and decided to leave the Skyland Conference to join the NJAC during the 2012-13 school year. 2 WELCOME AND ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY Welcome to the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). The NJAC consists of schools in Northwest New Jersey in Morris and Sussex Counties and Hackettstown and North Warren Regional in Warren County. This directory is the work of Mr. Sanjay Iyer, who graduated from Morris Knolls High School in 1997. After he graduated from Morris Knolls, he went on to college, at FDU in Teaneck, NJ, and graduated with a BA in Computer Science in 2003. Since then, he has been in IT consulting working as an IT recruiter/resource manager. Iyer spent so many hours putting this directory together and used various sources to do so. He has provided information about the following: • Principals • Athletic Directors • Chief School Administrators (CSA) For principals and CSA’s, he has also provided information about their secretaries and the phone numbers for both of them are those of their respective secretaries. He has used various school directories, including those from the following organizations: • Morris County Executive Superintendent of Schools • New Jersey State Department of Education (NJDOE) • New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) • Sussex County Executive Superintendent of Schools • Warren County Executive Superintendent of Schools Iyer and I hope that you’ll be able to use this directory to communicate with your counterparts.
