On Feb. 20, Superintendent Sarah Bilotti sent out a district-wide message announcing the tragic and unexpected loss of Pascack Hills senior, Joe McNeice.
The announcement reads as follows:
Hills principal, Tim Wieland, notes in an earlier email that Joe was “a part of the soul of Pascack Hills.”
Joe was a part of the Class of 2024 and was very involved in the Hills community. He was a member of the bowling team, participated in the Mr. Pascack Hills competition, read the morning announcements, and contributed to numerous clubs, teams, and troupes.
The Hills community mourns this tragic loss.
We, at The Trailblazer, offer our heartfelt condolences to Joe’s family and friends.
