Jack Hontz had a stellar career in leading the music program at Strath Haven High School for 34 years. He started out with a handful of members and grew his marching band to over 400 members out of a total school population of 1200. His dedication to all aspects of the SHHS music program, including the spectacular marching band, is a testament to his love and willingness to go the extra distance for his students. Jack spent many hours preparing for then marching and playing at the SHHS football field. It would be a great honor to his legacy to name the facility after him.
