MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA – For the second consecutive year, the Manchester Essex Regional High School (MERHS) Athletic Department has been awarded the prestigious Cape Ann League Baker Division Hyland Award.
The 2025-26 Hyland was co-awarded to MERHS as well as neighboring high school Hamilton-Wenham Regional. The Manchester Hornets were recognized for their commitment to the community and for continuously striving for success both on the field and in the classroom.
The Hyland award recognizes dedication, hard work, and excellence across high school athletic departments. The award was named in honor of MERHS teacher, coach, and athletic director Joseph M. Hyland. Hyland became athletic director in 1965 and remained in the position until 1977, serving as an award-winning baseball and basketball coach.
The Cape Ann League (CAP) continues Hyland’s legacy by celebrating high schools that demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship and go above and beyond in their athletic departments.
This is the third time MERHS has received this award since Cameron “Cami” Molinare was appointed Athletic Director. This past school year marks her fifth year in office.
“This is a testament to Cami’s amazing leadership,” said Principal Julie Sgroi. “She holds our students to a high standard, provides the leadership they need, and has an amazing rapport with the community.”
