He organized the school’s golf team and coached baseball, basketball and golf from 1971 through 1994. “I am humbled, proud and thankful for this honor,” said Nolan. Sawey, a social studies teacher, chaired the department until his retirement in 1992. His courses in United States history and Contemporary World Affairs or CWA, as it came to be known, were very much sought after by students. “CWA was the most popular course in the high school. The textbook was US News & World Report, and later the New York Times. It was a forum for lively and passionate student discussions,” said Healy of the course he himself had experienced. “We had a wonderful time together. We shared why America is so beautiful, so important, so powerful,” Sawey said of the thousands of students who went through the course during his 33 years at the school.”CWA brought the world into the classroom. They thought; they argued about what was going on. Midland Park had a great future in its young people,” Sawey added. Sawey also served as advisor to the National Honor Society, the yearbook and the Student Government Organization and coached boys basketball and served as a track official.
