EspañolMANASQUAN HIGH SCHOOL
'Manasquan High School' is a four-year comprehensive community public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grade from Manasquan, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Manasquan Public Schools.
In addition to students from Manasquan, the high school serves students from Belmar, Brielle, Lake Como, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, and Avon-by-the-Sea (during the 2004-2005 school year, there were seven students from Avon) who attend the school as part of sending/receiving relationships with their respective school districts.[1]
Manasquan High School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In March 2004, a validation team visited the school and recommended that the school's accreditation should be extended.[2]
In 1996-97, Manasquan High School's Horticultural Botany program, taught at Barlow's Flower Farm, was recognized by the New Jersey Department of Education as a "Best Practice" of educational partnership.[3]
The Course Ahead Program allows seniors to take courses in European and American History, Calculus, and Entrepreneurship at Georgian Court College for college credit.
The Academy of Finance program focuses on the field of finance, using a curriculum that combines traditional classroom instruction, with lectures from experts in the subject, mentoring and job shadowing with industry specialists. Students gain practical knowledge and skills through a paid summer internship that is required as part of the program. Students are awarded a Certificate in Financial Studies upon satisfactory completion of the Academy curriculum mandates.
Manasquan High School competes in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference comprised of private and public high schools, centered at the Northern Jersey Shore. All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
The High School is known for its intense sports rivalry with Wall High School in Wall Township. A previous rivalry was with Point Pleasant High School.
The Manasquan Warrior Band, directed by Alan Abraham, performs at all of the games, playing music both in the stands and during halftime. Last season, they performed 'Can't Turn you Loose/Soul Man', 'Flip, Flop, Fly', 'Soul Finger', and the Manasquan High School School Song.
