Welcome to the North Haledon Public School District where we strive to maximize the unique learning potential of every student. The North Haledon School District is located in Passaic County, N.J. approximately twenty four miles west of New York City. The district is governed by a nine-member, elected Board of Education. The district serves approximately 710 pupils who are enrolled in Preschool through Grade Eight and it consists of two (2) school buildings. Memorial Elementary School serves students who attend Preschool through Grade Four and High Mountain Middle School serves students who attend Grades Five through Eight. The North Haledon School District offers a safe, student-centered atmosphere with an excellent curriculum and many student services.
The Board, Administration, and Faculty of North Haledon School District are committed to providing a challenging educational program that addresses the individual needs of all students in a nurturing learning environment. The faculty at both Memorial and High Mountain School take advantage of many professional development opportunities, including workshops, seminars, conferences and graduate courses. They consistently seek new strategies and instructional methodology that will enable them to effectively meet the unique individual needs of the students in the District.
In this age of information, we are constantly challenged to provide our students with the appropriate kinds of knowledge, skills and tools that will prepare them for their place as innovators and leaders in the future. Throughout our curriculum we provide opportunities for students to acquire knowledge and skills as they begin their lifetime of learning. Our programs are developed to reflect current research and best practices, stressing interdisciplinary instruction, cooperative learning strategies, and increased use of technology. Students acquire the habits of inquiry necessary to prepare them effectively for the technological and information age of the twenty-first century.
Our district has effectively integrated technology throughout all subject areas. All of our classrooms are networked and connected to the infinite resources of the worldwide web with SMART Board technology infused in the classrooms at both buildings. With this latest integration, teachers are provided with yet another instructional tool that stimulates student interest while challenging their intellect.
The North Haledon School District is extremely proud of our students, staff and community. Our success is a direct result of the collaborative efforts of students, staff and parents working together. Both our Parent Teacher Organization and the Education Foundation play a vital role in the success of the school district. We are extremely fortunate to have a very supportive community.
