Coach Jo Ann (Josie) Harper – A Legacy of Leadership and Excellence
Jo Ann (Josie) Harper, Penncrest High School’s former
Women’s Athletic Director and Coach, passed away on June
16, 2024.
Jo Ann Harper was more than a coach – she was an educator,
a mentor, and a leader who set uncompromising standards that
shaped generations of students. For many of us, participating in
Penncrest’s women’s athletic program was transformative,
instilling resilience, teamwork, and discipline that extended far
beyond the field. Her extraordinary legacy shaped the lives of
many athletes, students, and colleagues.
Josie’s impact stretched well beyond Penncrest. She coached lacrosse at Hollins College before joining Dartmouth in 1981, where she led the team to multiple NCAA tournaments, Ivy
League Championships, and an ECAC title. She also coached the U.S. Women’s National Team, including the 1986 World Cup Team. In 2002, she became the first woman Director of Athletics and Recreation at Dartmouth, a groundbreaking achievement in Ivy League history. She was named National Administrator of the Year and received the Katherine Ley Award for advancing women in athletics. Her achievements earned her induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, West Chester University Hall of Fame, Penncrest High School Hall of Fame. Dartmouth has endowed the women’s lacrosse head coaching position in her name.
Join Us in Honoring Coach Harper’s Legacy
To honor her contributions, the Coach Josie Harper Scholarship Fund has been initiated, which will be awarded annually to an outstanding female athlete at Penncrest High School.
To establish this scholarship and celebrate Josie’s lifelong dedication to student-athletes, we
are launching an annual Golf Tournament and Dinner, with the inaugural event set for October 20, 2025.
