Joe Lagor arrived at The Hill School in the fall of 1987 to serve as the Assistant College Adviser and the Head Coach of the Boys’ Varsity Hockey team. Throughout his tenure here, he has been involved nearly every hockey program that the school offers.

Joe attended Lake Forest College, where he earned a B.A. in French and played Division III hockey for four years.

Aside from heading the varsity program from ’87-90, Joe has served as assistant varsity coach to John Micheletto, Tom Eccleston IV, and Matt Mulhern. He also headed the “thirds” hockey team for a few years, and, during the early years of coeducation, coached a co-ed team. Joe is currently in his third season as the head coach of the Varsity B team.

Away from the rink, Coach Lagor teaches French and serves as Chairman of the Modern Language Department and as Coordinator of the School Year Abroad program. His other responsibilities include coaching JV golf. Mr. Lagor lives on campus with his wife, Jennifer, and their five children.
