This year, three new Advanced Placement Program (AP) courses were added to the fourteen already offered. In conjunction with Monmouth University for the first time we are offering a dual credit program to AP students. The program is called MODEL. The school's average graduation rate for the past two years is 99% and 97% of our students go on to post secondary education.

The school itself has state of the art science facilities and library/media center. These areas are computerized and have network capabilities, which open the door to a world of research and inquiry. Family and Consumer Science kitchens, where many of our students enjoy learning about gourmet cooking course as well as basic food preparation, were remodeled this year.
