Coach Hackett has been a very successful coach on the court and trained under some of the best coaches in the region. Her mentors have included Delaney Rudd and Kim Furlough. She spent a year at IMG Academy as a sport advisor and student athlete advisor.

Since 2012, Haley has been at Northern Guilford as an assistant to Coach Kim Furlough where they have enjoyed great success.

While at Northern, Coach Hackett has been instrumental in:

Athletic Director Michael Everett on Hayley Hackett: It became evident as we went through the hiring process that Hayley was a person that we felt confident could lead our program and continue the great success and tradition that has become expected of Northwest Guilford girls basketball.

Principal Ralph Kitley: Coach Hackett is a great fit to take over the reins of the girls basketball program at Northwest Guilford High School. She has experience as a successful high school player and brings the experience of a D1 student-athlete to the table. She has some outstanding mentors that she’s worked with, and I know that Coach Hackett is prepared to do a great job here. She will be an awesome role model for our students. I am very excited about Coach Hackett joining the Viking family!
