Under his leadership, the Calverton Boys Varsity Soccer team has demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the season, culminating in this well-deserved recognition from the league’s coaches and administrators. “Josh embodies the best of Calverton,” said Wayne Clark, Director of Athletics. “He is not only a dedicated coach but also a mentor who inspires his players to give their best on and off the field. His commitment to our student-athletes and his passion for the game make him an extraordinary representative of the Cougar community.”
Head of School Adrienne Forgette shared, “We are incredibly proud of Coach Mooney for earning this honor. He brings both heart and excellence to his work each day, whether he’s teaching in the classroom or coaching on the field. Josh is deeply student-centered, always focused on helping young people grow in confidence, character, and teamwork. He represents the true spirit of Calverton, where lifelong relationships and leadership are cultivated and celebrated.”
Mooney’s journey from Calverton student-athlete to faculty leader is a testament to the school’s strong sense of community and enduring values.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by my peers,” said Mooney. “As a young coach it was a bit of a shock for me to find out that my peers thought this highly of me. Honestly though, I look at this as much more a reflection on my boys and the team they have become. They have really clicked as a team and come together in the second half of the season. I really try and put the emphasis on the team being led by the boys, so this honor is as much for them as it is for me.”
The Calverton School congratulates Coach Mooney on this outstanding achievement and thanks him for his ongoing contributions to Calverton’s athletic and academic excellence.
