DELSEA REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
DISTRICT’S MISSION STATEMENT-Each student has an inalienable right to be offered the best education we are capable of providing our junior high and senior high students. The Delsea Regional High School philosophy of education is based on the concept of a Atotal@ and Aequal@ education for each student and is achieved through a balanced curriculum in both scope and sequence. The school’s responsibility for instruction and learning has advanced to greater areas than ever before. We do not consider intellectual development as the limited priority of education, but rather, refer to total education as encompassing those phases of personal development and formations characterized as social, moral, physical, personal, emotional and intellectual growths. We believe in the interrelation of all growth processes in one’s total education and that each individual continually adjusts to his role in society through participation in various group activities in the total school organization. It is our expectation that all students achieve the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) at all grade levels.Equal education refers to comparable opportunities for each student to obtain the highest quality of education we can offer through a well-balanced sequential, comprehensive and correlated program of studies. For example, it is our belief that a student’s educational process in vocational preparation and competency is equivalent in importance to the college program of studies. Therefore, all our didactic processes are commensurate in the quality of content, instructional processes and opportunities provided to each student. We further recognize that many non-academic students are interested in pursuing, for personal enrichment, various college preparatory courses. In order to allow for these opportunities, flexibility, in that a student is not rigidly committed to a single tract of studies, is provided.We recognize that all students differ in their learning and behavioral characteristics. We are constantly aware that each student is all separate individual and therefore not expected to react identically toward all situations.We are committed to helping every student reach his individual potential capabilities and goals, and in so doing, provide a stimulating physical and social environment which is designed to activate the appetite for learning and motivate the potential drop-out to remain in school. Therefore, our education process is to develop maximum efficiency with which each student achieves to his own ability through the planned modification of behaviors and growths in a positive direction.It is also our belief that education must be flexible and oriented toward the future and that we must attempt to insure the fulfillment of the student’s educational, and/or vocational aspirations and their correlated growth characteristics.Our educational process shall continually be improved, expanded and evaluated to meet the demands of the times. We must provide a physical and social environment which discovers, develops, and nurtures human talents, self-direction, self-confidence and critical thinking.

PITMAN BORO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Vision for the Pitman Public Schools-In December 2011, the Pitman Public Schools embarked on a strategic planning initiative called Moving Forward 2012-2017. District leaders have engaged local residents, families, business owners, civic leaders, and district employees in “community conversations” about the future direction of the Pitman schools. A long and proud tradition of excellence.Pitman Public Schools have a long and celebrated history that dates back to 1884 with the establishment of the Pitman Grove School District administered by the Mantua Township Board of Education. When the Borough of Pitman was incorporated in 1905, the Pitman Board of Education was created with students up to eighth grade attending Summit Avenue School. The original Pitman High School was built in 1922. Prior to that, students attended high school in Glassboro and Woodbury. The first graduating class of Pitman High School consisted of fifty students in June 1926. The district facilities expanded in 1926 with the completion of two elementary schools – W.C.K. Walls School and Elwood Kindle School. Memorial Elementary School (1962) and the “new” Pitman High School (1972) were built to accommodate our growing population of students. The original High School became Pitman Middle School after the completion of Pitman High School in 1972.Our schools have always been a source of pride within the community. From the early 1900’s to today, our district has always been committed to academic excellence. Even today, we are most proud of our unparalleled student achievement. Our students consistently rank us as one of the highest achieving districts in the county when one analyzes our Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT’s), High School Proficiency Tests, Grade Eight Proficiency Tests and other standardized assessments.It is with the motivation that we gather from our students that we continue to achieve excellence. Our students in each of our five schools continue to inspire us. With that conviction and the dedicated efforts of our staff, we continue to provide what is best for our students. Our community support always has been such a positive force for our schools. Parents have been a significant component of our successes since the inception of our schools. In 1916, the Pitman Mothers’ Club was organized to improve conditions for all school children. Today, our Home and School Associations work tirelessly for the good of all students.Currently, our three elementary schools, W.C.K. Walls, Elwood Kindle and Memorial, house all Pitman students from pre-kindergarten through grade 5. Pitman Middle School is home to our grade 6,7 and 8 students. Pitman High School meets the needs of all students in grades 9 through 12. District wide, there are approximately 1650 students.
