Before and After School Programs in Princeton Public Schools

In early May, Princeton High School welcomed Eva Wiener to speak about her experience as a Holocaust survivor. The 9th, 11th, and 12th graders watched her speaking via live stream in their homerooms and in the auditorium, the 10th graders listened intently in person. 

The Princeton Board of Education meeting will hold a special meeting on May 15, 6 PM, at the Princeton Middle School cafeteria. The meeting will be live-streamed.

There will be an early dismissal on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Princeton High School will dismiss at 12:33 and all other schools will dismiss at 1 PM. Enjoy the long weekend!
