The DOCK Fitness and Wellness Center at Hingham High School Opens
The Hingham High School’s (HHS) student athletes, Red Army pep squad, dance team, and new cheerleading team’s cheers signaled the official opening celebration for The DOCK at Hingham High (The DOCK).
Hingham Sports Partnership (HSP) Board members, Hingham Public Schools representatives, local officials, corporate supporters, students, and members of the community gathered to officially the high school’s new 2,500 square foot wellness and fitness center.
“We’ve been eager for this moment: the official opening of The DOCK,” says Hingham Public Schools Superintendent Kathryn Roberts. “Not only will The DOCK further enhance the HHS Athletic Complex, but it will also become a hub for wellness and camaraderie as students use the space during school for electives and after school for sports and other activities.”
“After more than three years of fundraising and construction, we are so grateful to all of our generous donors for helping us bring our vision to create an inclusive, modern space for wellness to life at Hingham High,” says HSP Board President Deb McCarthy.
The DOCK is HSP’s largest project to date, which raised $1.5m. The building was completely funded through philanthropy. Generous individuals, families, and businesses that have supported the effort include Jim and Anne Davis, owners of New Balance Athletics; Coastal Dealerships; South Shore Bank; and Special Needs Athletic Partnership. Senator Patrick O’Connor also secured a $100,000 grant from the State of Massachusetts.
HSP is proud to have collaborated with Crocker Design Group, Golemme Architecture, Amenta Emma Architects, Pompeo Excavating, and Avid Engineers. Greg Mullen of Hingham-based R. Mullen Associates served as the general contractor.
Boys Soccer Captain Jack Monroe, Class of 2026, said, “The Dock Project means so much to us as student-athletes. It’s not just about improving the facilities — it’s about building a stronger connection between our teams and the community. Having a dedicated space where we can gather, train, and support each other will make a huge difference in our experience at Hingham High.”
Field Hockey Captain Ella O’Neill, Class of 2026, added, “As a student-athlete, the Dock Project feels like a symbol of pride and unity. It’s more than just a facility — it’s a place where all sports can come together, and that sense of connection makes Hingham athletics even stronger.”
