Haddon Heights Junior/Senior High School, previously known as Haddon Heights High School (HHHS), is a six-year comprehensive public middle school / high school that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades from Haddon Heights, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Haddon Heights School District. The school also serves students from the neighboring communities of Barrington, Lawnside and Merchantville (starting in the 2015–16 school year), who attend the high school for grades 9–12 as part of sending/receiving relationships.[5][6]
History
The first graduating class in June 1903 included students from Audubon.[7] The high school's current Tudor Gothic-style building, constructed at a cost of $500,000 (equivalent to $8.5 million in 2022) opened in September 1924.[8][9]
In September 1960, students from Magnolia, Somerdale and Stratford left the high school to start attending the new Sterling High School.[10]
In 1992, the borough of Merchantville, which at the time was sending students to Pennsauken High School in Pennsauken Township as part of a longstanding sending/receiving relationship with the Pennsauken Public Schools, made plans to switch its high school students to Haddon Heights High, but the New Jersey Commissioner of Education did not allow these plans to go forward. In 2012, the board of the Merchantville School District decided to send its students to Haddon Heights High.[11] The Haddon Heights district approved a plan in September 2013; it would add nearly 80 students a year from Merchantville to the high school, in addition to the average of more than 260 students from Barrington and 120 from Lawnside that are sent to Haddon Heights each year.[12] The plan was approved by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education, and students from Merchantville began attending the school in September 2015.[13] Students from Merchantville already in high school before 2015 will continue to attend Pennsauken High until their graduation.[14][15] Scott Strong, the chief administrator of the Merchantville district, stated that "Haddon Heights offers the right programs, the right diversity and really met our needs."[16]
Demographics
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,038 students and 81.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.8:1. There were 136 students (13.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 14 (1.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
Awards, recognition and rankings
The school was the 207th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[17] The school had been ranked 151st in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 129th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[18] The magazine ranked the school 168th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[19] The school was ranked 135th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[20] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 159th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (an increase of 69 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (84.0%) and language arts literacy (91.8%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[21]
Athletics
The Haddon Heights High School Garnets[2] compete in the Colonial Conference, which is comprised of public high schools in Camden and Gloucester counties[22] operating under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[23] With 657 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2022–24 school years as Group II South for most athletic competition purposes.[24] The football team competes in the Constitution Division of the 94-team West Jersey Football League superconference[25][26] and was classified by the NJSIAA as Group II South for football for 2022–2024, which included schools with 480 to 674 students.[27]

Field hockey
The team won the South Jersey Group II state sectional championship in 1985.[37]
Cross country
The boys cross country team won the Group I state championship in 1992 and 2007.[38] The 1991 boys team finished a perfect season of 11–0 for the first time in 17 years, won the South sectional title and finished second in the state meet. The 1992 boys' team won the South sectional title and won the Group I state championship for the first time in the school's history. The 2007 team claimed the South Jersey Group I sectional title;[39] they also claimed the Group I state title.[40]
Softball
The softball team won the Group II state championship in 2001 (defeating Pompton Lakes High School in the final game of the tournament) and 2022 (vs. Hanover Park High School) and won the Group I championship in 2013 (vs. Saddle Brook High School).[41]
In 2001, the team won their second consecutive South, Group II state sectional championship with a 2–0 win against Manchester Township High School[42][43] and went on to win the Group II state title, the program's first, with a 2–0 win against Pompton Lakes.[44][45]
The 2013 team won the Group I state title with a 5–3 win against Saddle Brook in the championship game.[46]
The 2022 team won the Group II state title with a 2–0 win over Hanover Park in the championship game. Haddon Heights finished the season with a 25–4 record after winning the 2022 Tournament of Champions with a 2–0 victory over Watchung Hills High School at Ivy Hill Park. They became the first-and-only TOC titlist from South Jersey, claiming the lone championship in the final year for the event.[47]
The 2023 team repeated as Group II state champions with a 3–0 win over Jefferson in the championship game. Haddon Heights finished the season with a 23–6 record, winning every playoff game without allowing a run. That is largely due to Sophomore Pitcher Sophia Bordi, who won Nj.com's Softball Player of the Year Award.[48]

Extracurricular activities

The marching band was Tournament of Bands Atlantic Coast Champions in Group 1 in 1994.[50] They were also the TOB Chapter 1 Champions in Group 1 from 1992 to 1997.
The school's marching band finished in third place at the 2007 United States Scholastic Band Association National Championships, competing as a Group I band at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland on November 16, 2007, with a score of 94.175, missing second place by 1/20th of a point.[51]

In November 2013, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, the unit took home their first ever USBands Group 1 Open National Championship, with a score of 90.25.
The following season (2014), the unit went undefeated in the regular season in both the USBands and Tournament of Bands circuits. They proceeded to go a combined 4–1 in their championship performances in both circuits (the only loss being the Atlantic Coast Championships where they finished third). The unit won their second consecutive national championship, scoring a 94.450, over a four-point improvement from the previous season's national championship victory.
During the 2015 campaign, the unit won the Tournament of Bands Group 1 Open New Jersey State Championship at Toms River High School North, on October 24, 2015.
The 2018 season saw the unit take home their first USBands Group 1 Open New Jersey State Championship since the 2014 season, taking down the defending national champion in Burlington City High School, after going 0–2 when seeing them in the regular season.
Following the 2018 season, the unit lost 14 of its 35 total members, leaving the unit with only three senior members on the roster entering the 2019 season. Despite this, the unit went on to have by far their most successful season since the 2014 season, highlighted by taking home their second consecutive USBands Group 1 Open New Jersey State Championship, again defeating the defending national champion (again being Burlington). The championships were held at Wayne Valley High School on November 3, 2019.
On November 12, 2022, the marching unit won their first ever Cavalcade of Bands Independence Open Championship with a score of 96.10. This victory earned Rob Renninger, the unit's longtime and heavily respected director, his fourth major championship win of his storied fifty-one year career (‘94, ‘13, ‘14).
Color guard
The school's indoor color guard, known as High Voltage (or HV for short), was the Scholastic Open Class champions at the Tournament Indoor Association (TIA) All-Chapter Championships in 1994 and 1996.
High Voltage was WGI (Winter Guard International) finalists in the years 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2006. They finished as high as 6th place in both 2005 and 2006.

Their run from 1998 to 2009, in which they won an All-Chapter championship in 11 out of 12 seasons, is widely regarded as the best championship run in TIA history.
They were the Independent A Class Champions in the MAIN circuit in 2004, 2005, and 2009.
