For the 2005-06 school year, the district was recognized with the "Best Practices Award" by the New Jersey Department of Education for its "Aloha Hawaii" Social Studies program at Roberge Elementary School.[5]
Also during the 2005-2006 school year, all three of the district's schools - the Holdrum Middle School, the Roberge Elementary School, and the Woodside Elementary School - each won the prestigious "National PTA Parent Involvement Award," a designation which lasts for a full three years.

Two Holdrum Middle School students, both Grade 7, were recognized in December of 2008 for their participation in the Bergen County Middle School Chorus, a prestigious organization.
