V. RECOGNITION
  • Tiffany Hickox-Illinois Dancy Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
We would love to honor our head J'ette coach Tiffany Hickox for being recognized as Illinois dance coach of the year by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Each year the IHSA selects a coach of the year for each of their sports. Coach Hickox was selected by the IHSA dance administrator as coach of the year for the 2023-2024 school year. Tiffany led the J'ettes to their second consecutive IHSA competitive dance state title last season. In her 25 years in the program, the J'ettes have qualified for IHSA state in all seven years we have been involved in IHSA competition. In those seven years, the J'ettes have won 5 IHSA sectional titles. Over the length of her coaching career, Coach Hickox has also led the squad to numerous IDTA state championships. Coach Hickox teachers her squad about work ethic, determination, and quality sportsmanship. The life lessons her many student athletes have learned have helped and will continue to help them in life. We congratulate Coach Tiffany Hickox!
