The Academic Assistance Program (AAP) was created to help students failing two (2) or more subjects at the midpoint of the 2021-2022 Academic year. Students will receive a letter scheduling them for after school tutoring in combination with their failure letter. We expect these students to attend tutoring from 2:40-3:30pm Monday through Thursday with our AEP school teachers. By attending the AAp program, students can complete assignments for their courses and make up some of their attendance infractions. There are teachers from every core subject available. If you have any questions, please email your child's guidance counselor. Students must bring work to complete and work during the time that they are attending the program.

Paulsboro High School Juniors and Seniors attended the College & Career Councils' College Fair at Riverwinds Community Center. Students were able to speak to and get information for over 30 colleges and universities in the Tri-State area. Please have your student check the guidance department or webpage for upcoming events.

Paulsboro partners with multiple local colleges for dual credit, including the Rowan University (ROPES program) and Salem County College. Students are able to receive college credit at a fraction of the cost through these programs. Please see Mr. Sommers in Guidance for more information or you can reach him at the high school, extension 2280.

Students who receive A, B, or C’s, have less than three attendance infractions (latenesses and absences), and zero referrals for the marking period earn a Renaissance card. The renaissance card gives students perks such as; free admission to athletic events, a homework pass, lunch snacks, scheduled breakfast, pasta with the principal ,and an end of the year carnival. Mr. Morina and Mrs. Klein are the contacts if you have questions about qualification or upcoming events.
