Michael Hoban

Michael Hoban (7 October 1921 - 6 July 2003) was a teacher of classics, and Head Master of Harrow School from 1971 to 1981. Hoban was a gifted teacher, a scholarly and private man of great integrity, a warm person with a clear moral purpose. He headed Harrow at a difficult time for British public schools generally, with unfavourable political environment and many financial pressures. Despite sometimes public criticism, Hoban responded with cost-saving centralisation of pupils feeding, and of academic departments, while refurbishing houses. Innovations included the new Knoll boarding house, physics and mathematics schools, and a golf course.
