Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District

The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District will be operating at regular schedule tomorrow, Wednesday January 28, 2026.

The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District will be closed on Tuesday, January 27. Throughout the day we made great efforts to get our buildings prepared, but in consultation with our constituent and sending districts and our local law-enforcement and our transportation providers, there are just too many safety concerns on back roads and in many of our neighborhoods. We recognize and understand that many of the main roads look and are in fact fine, but this district is so expansive and has so many students coming from remote and rural-like areas that we cannot in good conscience put those students and staff in dangerous situations. In addition, temperatures in the teens overnight and into tomorrow morning, give us great concern for the safety and well-being of students walking to and waiting at bus stops. We realize the temperatures will be cold for the week, but believe after talking to other local agencies that there will be continued efforts tomorrow to clean up intersections and some smaller side-street areas. The district fully intends to open Wednesday, January 28.

Big congrats to the Oakcrest Thespians who went to the STANJ (Speech and Theatre Association of New Jersey) Annual Governor’s Award Competition on Saturday, January 10th for the very first time! The event is a rigorous, day-long competition and celebration of theatre arts with close to 1100 participants from 50 schools. A special shout-out to the Falcons who were recognized this year:

🎭 5th Place for Dramatic Monologue: Stephan O’Neill

🎤 Finalists for Musical Theatre Pairs: Vivian Broadbent and Lorelai Slack

In addition to competing, students took a stage combat workshop taught by professionals Rick and Collin Sordelet, who have worked on over 70 Broadway shows and films. ⚔️🤺

Additionally, we'd like to give props to the Oakcrest Media Department, who filmed highlights of the competition day for the STANJ board and website! 👏👏👏

Oakcrest math teacher Leah McDonnell and the OHS Math Club recently hosted their annual Origami Day in the school library! Geometry students were treated to a paper folding lesson by Math Club members, who led a number of groups in making animals, flowers, and other impressive yet delicate structures. Shout out to all who made this yearly event a fun-filled success!

This weekend's snow may have caused you to reminisce about the recently departed holiday season, so we're gracing your timeline with some festive throwback photos! Right before Christmas, Oakcrest's Tri-M Music Honor Society toured the halls of Hamilton Township Schools to play some carols for future Falcons. A big shout-out to these student-musicians for bringing the spirit to the Mays Landing community! 🎄🥁🎅🎷

In conjunction with our community partners at the Township of Hamilton Police Department, we ask all Hamilton residence to take this opportunity to provide feedback directly to the department.

Due to the ongoing power issue, Oakcrest High School will be dismissing students at 9:30 a.m to go home. All normal bus routes will be running at that time. Parents who plan to pick up their student may do so beginning at 9:30. We ask that all pickups follow normal end-of-day procedures to ensure a safe and orderly dismissal. As this is Friday, we expect to be functioning on Monday. We will provide an update over the weekend. Thank you for patience and cooperation.

Last week, Oakcrest's drama program brought down the house with their production of Rock of Ages. Shout out to all the Falcons who worked tirelessly on stage and behind the scenes to make the show a tremendous success! 🎸🎤🤘

Under the tutelage of teacher Stephanie Hinton, students in Oakcrest's REACH program have been showcasing their entrepreneurial side by crafting and selling beautiful, seasonal centerpieces. Props to all involved in this venture! 👻💙🎨

Congrats to Oakcrest Junior Madison Carland, who has verbally committed to play Division I Women's LAX at Radford University in Virginia! Maddie, a Distinguished Varsity Scholar and active participant in student government and OHS athletics, is sure to make Falcon Nation proud as a member of the RU Class of '31! 💙📚🥍

When Oakcrest's staff and students received word last month that the First United Methodist Church's food pantry was near empty, they flew into action to help restock its shelves. Falcon Nation prides itself on coming together to offer assistance to Mays Landing residents who are in need. If YOU'D like to support the FUMC's pantry, nonperishable food items can be dropped off at 6011 Main Street at any time. 💙💙💙

Spooky Season is now behind us, but before we start celebrating the upcoming winter holidays, let's take a moment to recognize all the effort and enthusiasm Falcon Nation put into this year's HallOAKween! Props to the students and staff who pulled out all the stops putting together their costumes! 🎃👻🍫

There's nothing like a Dunkin’ Refresher after a long day of field testing! Big thanks to our friends at Mays Landing Dunkin’ for keeping Falcon Nation cool, hydrated, and motivated! 🍩🥤😎
