George Hammond Tilghman (1896-1943) was a teacher who served as the headmaster at the Morristown School (now Morristown-Beard School), a private preparatory school in Morristown, New Jersey, for 13 years (1926-1939). Tilghman succeeded Arthur Pierce Butler, one of the school's three founders. During his tenure as headmaster, Tilghman guided Morristown School through a lengthy period of financial turbulence for the school marked by the Stock Market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. He also served as head coach of the ice hockey team. Morristown-Beard School awarded Tilghman its Distinguished Alumni Award posthumously in 2010.
