year include, but are not limited to:
● Having the 2026-2027 Passaic County Teacher of the Year, Mr. Gemmerton Reyes on staff, our 3rd in a row
and the first consecutive three-peat for any single school in Passaic County history!
● Renovation of our Locker Rooms, Field House, and Softball Field
● Installation of sprinklers to keep our non-turf fields healthy and ready for programming
● New and exciting course offerings for the 2026-2027 school year
● Fully paved campus roads and renovation of sidewalks including the new stairway at the senior parking lot
● Working together to continue CEP (free breakfast and lunch for all students) status for the 2026-2027
school year. Please remember that the related forms must be submitted every year to maintain status.
● Advancing our professional use of AI with staff and students
