Tom Carr graduated from Delaware Valley Regional High School in 1968 where he was captain of both the football and wrestling teams. Tom’s 37 year teaching and coaching career at Hunterdon Central Regional High School began after graduating from East Stroudsburg State College in 1972.
Tom was a superb and innovative teacher. His dedication to the school and community reached far beyond the classroom as he worked diligently with the youth wrestling and football programs, as well as many championship teams at the high school level. His enthusiastic, compassionate style of teaching in the classroom and on the field has earned him recognition as the 2000 New Jersey Lacrosse Official of the Year, member of the Class of 2008 New Jersey Football Coaches Hall of Fame, recipient of the 2009 Teen Prevention Education Program Legacy Award, and the 2008-2009 Hunterdon Central Regional High School Teacher of the Year.
Tom has been involved as an assistant coach or an official every year since his first coaching assignment in 1972. Twenty-four state championships later, Tom has officiated nine lacrosse state championships, two lacrosse college conference championships, coached six individual wrestling state champions, four wrestling state championship teams, and five football state championship teams, in which he was the defensive coordinator for three of them. However, the highlight of his career occurred between the fall of 1998 and the winter of 2000 when he coached his son Michael in back-to-back football state championships (1998 and 1999), officiated the New Jersey high school state final game in lacrosse (1999), and coached Michael as he won the individual New Jersey state wrestling championship at 215 pounds (2000).
Tom has served the NJILOA as a board member, cadet instructor, president and rule interpreter. Tom has been a Final Four official at both the NCAA Division III college conference level and New Jersey High School State Championship level. He has been recognized numerous times for his contributions as an official by the NJILOA, NJSIAA, NFHS, and the NJLCA.
Tom has been a role model for students, athletes, and his three children­—Beth Ann, Veronica, and Michael. Tom’s greatest satisfaction as an educator comes from the fact that all three children have chosen teaching and coaching as careers, accumulating their own list of championships in cheerleading, gymnastics, wrestling, and football. Sharing this journey with his wife of 39 years, Josephine, has truly been an example of dreams coming true.
