Summary
At its March 23 meeting the Pequannock Board recognized multiple student music honors — North Jersey and Morris County ensembles — and adopted a proclamation honoring senior Sabina Veil as the 2026 Unsung Hero for her recovery and volunteer work.
Pequannock Township — The Pequannock Township Board of Education used part of its March 23 agenda to recognize student achievements in music and to adopt a proclamation naming senior Sabina Veil the district’s 2026 Unsung Hero.
Mr. Hazler introduced the Unsung Hero proclamation, which the board adopted by roll call. The proclamation cited Veil’s recovery after a life‑altering injury as a freshman and her volunteer work mentoring students and volunteering at a local hospital. “Sabina is just a wonderful young lady,” Mr. Hazler said while presenting the award.
Music staff highlighted student placements in regional ensembles: three students were named to North Jersey Area Band (Joseph Costantini, Nicholas Finnegan and Adam Giongiosi) and multiple singers earned spots in Morris Area Honor Choir and NJSMA Region 1 honor choirs, with performances cited at Mount Olive High School and Morris Knolls High School. Teachers and administrators thanked families and staff for supporting student participation; the district noted upcoming concerts, including the Music in Our Schools concert on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the high‑school auditorium.
Why it matters: The recognition underscores the district’s extracurricular strengths and honors a student whose personal story and community service the board chose to highlight formally.
What’s next: The board will present the Unsung Hero proclamation to Veil and the district continues to publicize upcoming music events. No formal policy changes were proposed in this portion of the meeting.
Quote: “Sabina is just a wonderful young lady,” Mr. Hazler said when introducing her selection for the award.
The recognitions and proclamation took place during the regular business meeting; the board’s other business focused on budget and policy items.
