## History

[edit]

In July 1926, Mount Ephraim announced that it would starting sending students in ninth grade to the new Audubon High School, while students in grades 10-12 would continue their education at Haddon Heights High School.[4]

The school opened in September 1926 with an enrollment of 480 students.[5] Two years later, as the school grew, students in grades 7-9 were part of the Junior School and those in grades 10-12 the Senior School.[6] In 2006 a science wing was added to the building. The addition included four new fully equipped science labs, a gymnasium and a band room.[7]

In September 2012, the Audubon School District implemented the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (HIB) at Audubon High School.[8]

In 2014, the school began a 1-to-1 Chromebook initiative. This initiative provides a Chromebook for each student to use throughout the school year.[7]

## Awards, recognition and rankings

[edit]

The school was the 181st-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[9] The school had been ranked 147th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 172nd in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[10] The magazine ranked the school 195th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[11] The school was ranked 238th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[12]

## School programs

[edit]

Project Graduation is a program that provides safe entertainment for senior students on the night of graduation. Money for this program is donated to the school directly and through fundraisers.[13]

The Student of the Month program recognizes students who have shown an exemplary characteristic daily. A student from each grade is chosen each month to receive an award package and a certificate. This program was initiated by The Intervention and Referral Services Team as a joint venture with the Renaissance Program.[14]

The Student Spotlight program recognizes students who are making a positive impact on campus. The program seeks to encourage academic excellence, school spirit and citizenship.[15]

The Project Memorial Foundation was established in 1994 to show patriotism among students. The program has received multiple honors and awards from both military and civic groups.[16]

The Parrot is the school's newspaper. The newspaper is written and edited by students and staff and covers topics important to the school. The organization also hosts a podcast where students can submit their creative works.[17]

The Student Council consists of student representatives voted for by the student body. The organization aims to strengthen the relationship between students, administration, faculty and the Audubon Board of Education. Students also organize community service projects and school activities such as school dances, homecoming events, pep rallies, the Thanksgiving food drive and Senior Citizen's Spring and Winter socials.[18]

A 3-0 win in the 1996 championship game against Emerson gave the team the Group II title and a 20-6 record for the season.[32] The 1996 team finished the season with a 21-4-1 record after winning the Group II state title by defeating Newton by a score of 8-1 in the playoff finals; Audubon became the fourth school in the state to win three consecutive group titles.[33] The 1998 team held on for a 7-6 win against Glen Rock to win the Group II state championship and finish the season 30-2.[34] The 2001 team finished the season with a record of 28-4 after winning the Group II state championship with an 8-1 win over Newton.[35][36] In June 2011, Audubon's baseball team defeated Waldwick High School for the Group I state championship, the team's seventh overall in the playoff era.[37]
