Raritan Students Will Help Rebuild Jersey Shore During Spring Break

Holmdel High School Accepts Raritan Students After District Map Mistake

A handful of students will move from Raritan High School to Holmdel High School.

A possible error in the Hazlet school district map is causing at least one student to transfer to Holmdel High School just one year before graduation. In a Patch blog entitled "Please Help," Hazlet father Nick Castella looked for an outlet to plead his case. Castella said his son, as well as a handful of other students from Hazlet, are being pushed over the border to Holmdel High School. Castella said his Garden Park Mobile Home Community residence is just inches from the Holmdel-Hazlet town line, and an error in the district map that was recently corrected is pushing his son Chris out of Raritan High School in his junior year. Holmdel Superindent Barbara Duncan said she was informed in late January that a group of Hazlet students actually…

Hazlet Schools Superintendent: No Danger, No Threat At Raritan High

Superintendent Bragen addresses a rumor about a threat at the district high school.

Hazlet Superintendent Bernard Bragen said Friday morning that a text message by a student threatening to kill others at school has been investigated by school officials and Hazlet Police, and it poses no threat.  "We've investigated a threat, which involved a text message sent between students, and determined there is no merit to the allegation, no cause for concern," he said around 10 a.m., on the morning the state observed a moment of silence for the Newtown, Ct. school shooting victims.  On a Threat Assessment Level from one to five, the administration labeled this threat at one, the lowest level, Bragen said.  The school was never in lockdown, he said.

There are two factors concerning the disruption at Raritan HS this past Friday: The first is a male student who has been disruptive and threatening since his earliest days in the district's elementary schools. He has been linked to threats by telephone, notes, and most recently works of "art" that target the building, students, and faculty. I'm glad that the threats have been investigated and …   more ›

Hazlet BOE Candidates Discuss Qualifications and Views

Six residents attended the forum.

Three of the four candidates vying for three open seats on the Hazlet Board of Education came to talk about their qualifications at a casual candidates forum at Raritan High School on Thursday.  The candidates were: incumbents Francis "Mick" McGrath, Celine E. McNally, and Board President Stephen F. Willig, Sr. (I). Natale Iannello said he could not make the meeting due to a work commitment but sent a statement to be read.  Although only six Hazlet citizens turned out for the event held at the RHS cafeteria, the attendees engaged the candidates in thoughtful conversation about their views.  McNally, a middle school language arts teacher working in Freehold, was asked about the pros and cons of block scheduling, a trend towards longer …
