Gloucester City High School Receives National Recognition

Press Release

This week Gloucester City High School received national recognition for their quality performances in and out of the classroom.

U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education and data research and analysis business, announced the top performing high schools in the entire nation.

The company provides parents with an educational data report.

This report analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 21,000 public high schools in the United States to find the very best high schools.

These top schools were placed into gold, silver, bronze, or honorable mention categories.

Gloucester City High School received a bronze commendation for their outstanding services to the children and community.

They were only one of four high schools recognized in Camden County, and one of 41 high schools throughout the entire state to receive the recognition.

GHS Principal, Dr. Jack Don, commended his staff for their hard work and leadership, both in and out of the classroom.

Superintendent Paul Spaventa said the high school administrative team was one of the finest in the area.

\”Gloucester City High School has outstanding students, and is an asset to the community. The school is a place where children come prepared to learn and train to be the leaders of tomorrow,\” Spaventa said.

Bellmawr’s 11th annual \”Christmas In The Park\” was another success

The entire Recreation Centre complex on Creek Road, including portions of the Scott Merulla Playground, was bedecked with larger arrays of lighting and decorations than last year.

Mayor Frank Filipek Sr. said borough residents donated more to this year’s efforts than he expected.

The free of charge event drew hundreds of Bellmawr and other residents, who braved the chilling breeze and were warmed by hot chocolate and cookies.

The Petting Zoo was brought back from 2008, along with pony rides, which featured an eight year-old miniature named \”Popsicle.\”

New this year was the Community Room being transformed into a maze of animated Santa figurines of all shapes and sizes.

The event was free of charge. Photos with Santa were available for a small fee as well as free, customized Christmas stockings.

Representatives from the Bellmawr branches of The Bank and TD Bank were also on hand with handouts.

As the opening evening continued, a tour of the layout was in order, and it was evident that the Borough employees worked extremely hard to have everything together and ready for event-goers.
