Clover Park School District has assembled a committee that is considering a request to name the Clover Park High School baseball field after former long-time educator and coach Merle Hago.
Hagbo worked in the school district from 1958 to 1998. He was the assistant boys baseball coach from 1958 to 1963 and head boys baseball coach from 1964 to 1998. He also served as an assistant football coach, assistant boys basketball coach and head boys basketball coach.
He was well-known in the community and ran the Lakewood Little League Program from 1962 to 1983. During his career, he received the Outstanding Official Award for District 8 from the National Federation of Interscholastic Officials Association in 1998 and was inducted into the Washington State High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame and the Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Hall of Fame.
A community survey has been launched to gather input on this recommendation that will be reviewed by the committee as it makes its recommendation to the superintendent: https://forms.office.com/r/8mLGHxVXdx.
The survey will close on Friday, April 14.
Please contact Community Relations, 253-583-5040, with questions about the survey or for additional assistance.
