[edit] Awards and recognition
Marlboro High School was the 76th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2006 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools[2].
In 2006, Principal James Mullevey was named Administrator of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Student Councils (NJASC). [3]
[edit] Background
Approximately 96 percent of Marlboro High School students attend a 4 year college after graduation.
Marlboro High School is considered a "failing school" under the federal No Child Left Behind Act because students with disabilities did not meet the Act's benchmarks in math and language arts. Still, all student groups and subgroups met the 95 percent participation rate in the Act's Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks[4].
[edit] MHS Concert Band
The Marlboro High School Concert Band was invited to perform at both Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall during 2005. Since 1986, the band has been under the direction of Patrick M. Dalton, whose specialty is the euphonium.
