A
Message from Principal David Heisey
Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School is a four-year
comprehensive high school with an enrollment that reflects the
diversity of our nation.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School strives to be a harmonious
educational community committed to excellence in developing
each member's potential. Within our environment, we
consider students to be valued individuals, with unique
aptitudes, attitudes, interests and needs. Our comprehensive
high school fosters each individual's potential by providing
programs and opportunities for academic, emotional, creative,
physical, and social growth. Continuing education is a priority
in our school community where a well-educated staff models the
benefits of life-long learning.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School offers students a
curriculum of substance and courses that require students to
complete serious and relevant work. Teachers use
instructional strategies that engage students and include them
in the learning process. The high school supports a climate
that values teaching and learning, a climate in which academics
are honored and distractions that interfere with teaching and
learning are not tolerated. We believe the educational process
ultimately depends upon the combined efforts of administration,
faculty, students, parents, and the community-at-large. We
believe continuous evaluation is needed to assure that our
resources are used wisely.
At Scotch
Plains-Fanwood High School, we are committed to the district's
mission of "educating every student to become a confident and
caring life-long learner who can communicate and contribute
positively to the rapidly changing world. The district, in
cooperation with the community, will provide an academic
environment which values excellence, initiative, and
diversity."
