CHATHAM, NJ - Darren Groh, the principal at Chatham High School, believes his school is No. 1 in the latest state-wide rankings by New Jersey Monthly for more reasons than just academics and test scores.
“There is no place like Chatham," Groh said. "As a teacher, as a coach, as an administrator, I’ve been in a half-dozen places. All pieces of the puzzle that are needed to create an outstanding high school really exists here. It’s not easy to build the reputation that Chatham has, but it’s easy to lose that reputation. I think our kids work hard at representing themselves, the school and our community well. That is also part of what will serve them well when they leave here.
"I would tell you, I’ve been here 10 years and from the day I started in Chatham until now, I’m still incredibly impressed by the quality of person that comes to our school. They are not just kids who study all the time. They’re nice kids who have manners, who are courteous and who have a pride and caring for their school beyond themselves. I think that’s very impressive to see that from a teenager. We’re proud of it."
The rankings by New Jersey Monthly are published every two years. In 2012, New Providence was ranked No. 1 and Chatham was 20th. Chatham has been ranked No. 12, No. 10, No. 8 and No. 20 in previous rankings by the magazine.
The top 10 ranked schools are: 1-Chatham. 2-Haddonfield. 3-Northern Highlands. 4-West Morris Mendham. 5-Millburn. 6-New Providence. 7-Pascack Hills. 8-Glen Rock. 9-Marlboro. 10-Rumson-Fair Haven....
