Hackensack Middle School is closed today for Indigenous Peoples' Day.

🌎🧡 Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Our City’s Name. Our River. Our Land. Our Shared History.

Did you know that Hackensack’s history is deeply connected to the Lenape people, the Indigenous people whose ancestral homeland includes our region?

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the rich history, knowledge, cultures, and continuing contributions of Indigenous peoples. From the origins of Hackensack’s name to the history of the Hackensack River, our local community has important stories to learn and share.

At Hackensack Middle School, we believe understanding the past helps us build a more respectful and informed future. Let’s take time to learn, reflect, and honor the Indigenous communities whose history is part of our own. 💙💛
