Ewing High School

The mission of Ewing High School is to develop the academic, intellectual, creative, emotional, social, moral and physical aspects of its diverse student population. This will be achieved with the cooperation of student, faculty, home and community members. Through varied opportunities and experiences students will maximize their potential to be responsible, life long learners in a dynamic global society.

We believe the home, community and school share the responsibility for learning. Learning incorporates the academic, intellectual, creative, emotional, social, moral, and physical development of each student. All students can learn and it is the school's responsibility to provide the opportunities and the challenges for each student to achieve his/her maximum potential. All individuals have the right to learn and work in a safe, positive environment. The student is ultimately responsible for his/her learning. Higher expectations yield higher results.

Diversity and the intrinsic worth of each individual strengthens our school and community.

Ewing High School serves over 1,200 students in grades 9 through 12 with an ever-expanding, challenging academic program that sets high expectations. We are dedicated to meeting the academic, social, and moral needs of our students, enhancing their ability to be productive, responsible citizens.

Academically, Ewing High School operates on an intensive block schedule, which allows students the opportunity to take eight courses (40 credits) a year, four classes during each semester. Each instructional block is 87 minutes, with an average teacher-student ratio of 1:13. Included in the 140 credit requirement are four courses in English, three in Social Studies, three in Math, four in Science, and one in French, Spanish or Italian, all offered on four ability levels. During the 2006- 2007 school year, over 225 courses will be available for students at all levels of ability that includes a new Computer Science course sequence. We offer a growing Senior Experience program that allows students the option of being dually enrolled at local colleges and universities, completing an internship at a local business, school, or government organization, or participating in a supervised work experience during their senior year. Each year several students are selected to attend the Princeton University Preparatory Program and the Sarnoff Corporation’s Dixon Mentoring in Engineering Program.

Our student population mirrors the community, with students claiming heritages from over 55 countries. We celebrate this diversity, which affords students excellent opportunities for intercultural understanding and provides them with a global view of world states.

Ewing High School continues to be on the cutting edge of new development to ensure that every student can reach any goal that they desire in a safe, friendly environment dedicated to learning.
