|
| Barnegat, NJ (November 13, 2004) –
The new Barnegat High School – the first high school in the Ocean County township – was formally dedicated and open for tours Saturday November 13 before the football game between Barnegat and Colts Neck.
The ribbon-cutting included school district and local officials, students, teachers, community supporters, New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (SCC) representatives and others who helped make the school a reality. SCC funded $21.1 million toward the $31.1 million project. SCC, initiated by Governor James E. McGreevey in July 2002, provides funding through New Jersey's unprecedented $8.6 billion school building program. |

| The new 156,000-square-foot facility, which opened in September, has a capacity for 1,000 students who are being phased in over a four-year period. Only freshmen are attending this school year, with 10th through 12th grade students continuing to attend Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin. Since an additional class will be added each year to Barnegat High School, this year’s crop of new freshmen represents the high school’s first graduating class of 2008. |  New High School Media Center |
