gggVoters Approve New High School for Egg Harbor City

The planning for a new high school has been a long and deliberate process for the Greater Egg Harbor Regional Board of Education and administration. We, of course, are thrilled about the outcome of the vote today and the confidence you have placed in our school system. Our message did not waver and we are glad that the voters took the time to learn about our needs and were willing to step up and vote to support the proposed project.

We are especially excited that the taxpayer burden will be significantly reduced because of the state’s offer to fund more than 66 percent of the costs. This new high school will serve the students in our community for years to come.

We are grateful for the Teachers’ Association, the Trade Unions and the parental committees that worked tirelessly in securing a positive vote for the referendum.

We would also like to thank Retired Senator Gormley for his support and assistance in securing state funding for the project, and Assemblymen Jim Whelan and Frank Blee for their assistance with technical concerns in the later stages of the project.

We are proud to serve and eager to ‘get to work’ after several years of planning with staff, administrators, architects, engineers, construction managers and officials from the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (formerly the Schools Construction Corporation) to see the plans transformed to a new high school for students in our regional district. We opened a new line of communication with our community that we hope will continue as we move forward. Thank you for your support.
