Hingham High School names Jim Connor as next Football Coach

Hingham High School has named Jim Connor as its next head football coach, as announced by Director of Athletics Jim Quatromoni and Principal Rick Swanson.

“I am excited to announce Jim Connor as our next head football coach and welcome him to the Hingham school community,” said Quatromoni.  “Jim is an established presence among football coaches in eastern Massachusetts.  The success that he has enjoyed as a head coach, first at North Quincy, and more recently in Norwell, speaks to his knowledge of the game and ability to inspire high achievement in student-athletes.  I trust him to build upon the strong foundation that exists here, and to advance the culture of Harbormen Football.”

Coach Connor has been the head coach at Norwell High School since 2013.  Prior to that, he was the head football coach at North Quincy High School from 2006 to 2012.  With both programs, Coach Connor’s teams have been recognized for their on-field execution, team discipline and sportsmanship.  This past season, Coach Connor led Norwell to the South Shore League Sullivan Division Championship and was named the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Interscholastic Football Officials Coach of the Year.

Prior to starting his coaching career, Coach Connor was an All American lineman at Strath Haven High School in Wallingford, PA.  He earned a full athletic scholarship to Boston College, where he played in four bowl games and earned two varsity letters.


Coach Connor has been a history teacher at North Quincy High School since 2003. He lives in Marshfield with his wife and two children.
