Hempstead High School's coaching staff are phenomenal. Those coaches go above and beyond to assist every student not only in Athletics but also in academics. Most are role models to each student at our school. My experience with Hempstead High School was our coaches encouraged me, assisted me on guidance, taught me to be patient to overcome the impossible when I was at my most vulnerable stage.
