Congratulations to Alexus Paden as she finished her high school wrestling career with a pin and placing 3rd in the State of New Jersey! Next challenge is Wrestling at next level at Eastern University!
A special thank you to our JROTC for hosting the 2026 Military Ball! It was a great experience tonight watching our senior cadets receive a challenge coin from Major Smedley and Sergeant Cuff. Thank you to all who attended this memorable night for our cadets.
Prior to dismissal today, a fire alarm was activated in the building. As a precaution, students and staff followed our safety procedures and evacuated the building. The local fire department responded and completed a full check of the building. Once the building was cleared by the fire department, students and staff safely reentered, and dismissal resumed as normal. Thank you for your patience.
