Happy Assistant Principal's Week to Mr. Giarratano! You are already hitting it out of the park!
What a finish! After a rough first round, these 7th graders stormed back with dominant 4 rounds to finish 2nd in the Colts Neck HS Academic Competition. So proud of these Generals!
Thank you to the FTHS Peer Leaders for sharing their anti-bullying message with our sixth graders!
