District highlights students’ state Science Olympiad title, National Merit finalists and growing concurrent-enrollment program
Summary
Superintendent and staff celebrated Montgomery High School’s third consecutive state Science Olympiad championship (team advancing to May competition in Los Angeles), named eight National Merit finalists, and described growth in concurrent-enrollment with Seton Hall and AP/SAT participation.
Administrators used the superintendent’s report on March 24 to highlight student achievement across the Montgomery Township School District.
Montgomery High School’s Science Olympiad team won a third consecutive state championship and qualified for the national competition in Los Angeles this May, presenters said. The superintendent praised the performance of the high school theater program and congratulated students who have been recognized as National Merit finalists.
Administrators provided a one‑page snapshot of the Class of 2025: 420 graduates, 92% continuing education with 86% of those to four‑year colleges, a wide geographic spread of college choices and more than 5,000 college applications submitted by the class. The district highlighted its AP program (22 AP courses; nearly 1,600 exams administered last year) and SAT participation (361 seniors took the SAT).
The presentation also described the district’s expanding concurrent-enrollment partnership with Seton Hall. The program started modestly two years ago and has grown to six courses this year with about 50 students enrolling; participants pay roughly $110 per credit and, when they earn grades of A or B, those credits may transfer to colleges that accept Seton Hall concurrent credit.
The superintendent called the National Merit finalists by name and invited them for recognition; staff cited student and family contributions to success and encouraged wider participation in college and career pathways.
Ending: The district said it will continue to expand concurrent-enrollment options and monitor college-application trends to support student pathways.
