Board heard a presentation celebrating Mount Olive High School's Class of 2025, with graduation and college-placement statistics, AP exam results and multiple extracurricular honors.
Mount Olive Township School District administrators presented achievements of Mount Olive High School's Class of 2025, including college-placement rates, AP exam participation and awards for athletics, theater and the Air Force Junior ROTC program.
The presentation, led by Sue Swastetzky and principal Kevin Stansbury, said the district graduated about 361 students. Administrators reported that about 84% of graduates planned to pursue postsecondary education, with 63% going to four-year colleges and universities. The slideshow listed students headed to institutions including Johns Hopkins University, Northeastern University, Lafayette College, Cornell University, University of Chicago and New York University; administrators said 98 students planned to attend New Jersey four-year institutions.
Administrators also presented AP results. The presentation said 856 students took AP exams with an average score reported in the slideshow as roughly in the mid-3s and that nearly 80% of AP exam takers scored 3, 4 or 5. The district recognized AP Scholars and AP Seminar/Research recipients onstage.
The board heard additional highlights: 34 graduates earned the Seal of Biliteracy; the district awarded over $65,000 in scholarship money to graduates; the Mort team and underwater robotics team won regional honors; and the Air Force Junior ROTC unit recorded 1,902 hours of community service, multiple drill competition trophies and one cadet who earned a private pilot's license.
Board members commended staff and students. Dr. Giordano praised the opportunities available at Mount Olive High School, noting that the district's offerings make the school's ranking and student outcomes notable. "Although I'm very proud of our score being 80 and us moving up the ranks, I hope our community does recognize and know ... I don't really care about scores. I care more about the opportunities that we're giving our students," Giordano said.
The presentation concluded with the administration calling up AP honorees to receive certificates.
