About this home
--
Dr. Mary Sullivan Mohair was a local girl who made goodin her own home town. Raised
in the Sullivan family homestead on Central Avenue, she spend her remaining years there,
too, except for the last years spent in a nursing home. Her mother was a founding member
of the Womans Club, of which Dr. Mohair was a member.
Dr. Mohair attended St. Vincents Academy and received her Doctorate in Education
from Fordham University. She rose through the ranks in the Hasbrouck Heights School
District, attaining the position of Superintendent of Schools. Among her accolades were a
citation from Fordham naming her a Distinguished Alumni and a plaque received
in 1970 from the Mens Association, when she was hailed as Citizen of the
Year. Several generations of students will remember her for her tough but fair
stance and for her fashionable attire. -- Michele Maiullo
