Westtown School teacher and wrestling coach Jay Farrow is concluding his career at the West Chester school after over four decades of excellence, writes Brennan Barnard for Forbes. 

Farrow always gives his maximum in dedication, steadiness, humor, intensity, and investment. He has influenced thousands of students, whether it was through leading a dormitory, serving as dean, advising students, or mentoring both students and faculty. 

“The best part of being a mentor for me has been when a mutually rewarding and close relationship develops,” said Farrow. “I believe that the act of mentoring involves imparting wisdom, calmness, direction, and faith to a mentee. Mentors are eager to be there for their mentees to catch them when they fall or to prop them up emotionally when needed.” 

Now his coaching efforts have been recognized with the 2024 National Prep Wrestling Coach of the Year award. 

“In the extraordinary number and variety of professional roles he has played in his 44 years at Westtown, it is arguable that Jay has influenced as many Westonians through his dedication and care as any other single individual in the last half century of our school,” said Chris Benbow, Westtown’s head of school.
