School Layout

The school is made up of two main buildings: the 10-12 building and the 9th grade center, which also houses the county's alternative school. Much of the front of the main building, such as the Main entrance and Cafeteria, is built above a swampy, marsh-like area. These such areas have bridges to allow passage to the parking lots and bus pickup. The 10-12 building features one main hall perpendicular to the entrance, called the concourse. Hallways A through G extend off of the councourse perpendicularly. At the other end of the hallways, from B hall to G hall, is H hall, commonly called the breezeway which features true classrooms such as industrial safety and CMR as well as portables near the breezway. The ninth grade center contains halls J and I, but is unconnected to the main building through any facilities other than the bussport's rain-sheltering structures. Between the two buildings lies the Athletic building, an extension of I hall, which contains the school's extra large weight room as well as the athletic officies and trophy cases. There is also a Lecture hall in the newer building. The NJROTC wing is off of G hall next to the Band Wing.
