Hersey High School wrestling coaches placed on leave amid internal investigation

Wrestling coaches at John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal review, Northwest Suburban High School District 214 officials confirmed Saturday.

The affected coaches are across both boys and girls programs, and levels such as varsity, junior varsity and freshman, said Pat Mogge, the district’s director of community engagement and outreach.

The coaches were placed on leave late Wednesday, he said.

Mogge didn’t disclose what prompted the administrative leave and investigation.

“Administrative leave is a standard practice that allows the district to complete a thorough and fair review while maintaining continuity for students and programs,” he wrote in response to questions from the Daily Herald. “Because this is a personnel matter, the district is prohibited from sharing further details at this time.”
