Dr. Mira Martincich, former director of Physical Education and Athletics in the Roslyn Public Schools, will be inducted into the Nassau County High School Athletics Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Sept. 30. For more than 30 years, Martincich was a teacher, coach and administrator in Roslyn. She retired in 2009, though she returned for several months in 2014 to serve as interim athletic director. She is also a member of the Hall of Fame of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
The Nassau County High School Athletics Hall of Fame was created to recognize, preserve and promote the heritage of interscholastic sports in Nassau County. The Hall of Fame will be inducting their first class composed of 28 inductees; including nine administrators, nine coaches, six athletes, two contributors and two officials. Inductees range from the likes of NFL fullback Jim Brown to the winningest high school football coach in New York State, Bethpage’s Howard Vogts. These inductees have spent their lives working in, promoting and advocating to their community, students, athletes, team mates, and colleagues the importance of interscholastic sports.
The induction ceremony will be held on Sept. 30 at the Crest Hollow Country Club, Woodbury.
