Welcome to Piscataway!

Our district greeted more than two dozen new teachers this week at New Teacher Orientation. These educators will be joining the staffs from Piscataway High School to Children’s Corner Preschool as school gets started next week.

At orientation, the teachers were greeted by Superintendent Erskine R. Glover and the district’s administrators, principals, and supervisors. They learned about district curriculum and standards, technology, support programs, and more over two days of seminars and interactive learning at PHS, before heading to their classrooms to start getting ready for the 2026-2027 school year.

Thanks to Human Resources Director Colleen Pongratz for organizing and hosting this important event for the newest members of our Pway family!

Congratulations to the Piscataway High School Superchiefs Marching Band on a great band camp the week of Aug. 3!

The week culminated in an impressive preview show for friends and family on Friday, Aug. 7, after students and instructors put in six long days of hard work.

Thanks to Band Directors Ken Zampella and Jason Lakshmanan for building a dedicated team of students, increasing their enrollment by an incredible 25 percent in a single year! Thanks also for the many valuable contributions of our Band Parent Association volunteers.

Here are some scenes from band camp, captured by PHS senior Jagger Tinitigan.

Our Office of Community Education offered our middle school orchestra students the chance to brush up on their skills and keep making music with two camps this summer!

Orchestra teacher Haley Schilla led a camp for incoming 6th grade orchestra members to collaborate as an ensemble and take leadership in their playing and composing.

Orchestra teacher Grace Lee led a camp for rising 7th and 8th grade orchestra members where students learned, rehearsed, and performed popular music as an ensemble.

Thank you to Ms. Schilla and Ms. Lee for inspiring musical joy over summer break!

Members of our Board of Education were proud to attend the Women’s Political Caucus of New Jersey Summer Social recently at the Raritan Yacht Club in Perth Amboy!

Board members Loretta Rivers and Dr. Gayle Nelson and Vice President Shantell Cherry were greeted by Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez, who hosted the event.

The Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey is a nonpartisan organization founded in 1972 whose mission is to increase women’s participation in the political process, raise the number of women in elected and appointed office, and build women’s political power to achieve equality for all women.

Our Board of Education has been using its platform to bring awareness to important causes that touch our students, families, and community!

Over the past several months, Board members have been wearing a different color at each meeting to recognize an important cause.

In April, Board members wore blue for Autism Awareness, promoting understanding, acceptance, and inclusion

In May, they wore green for Mental Health Awareness, reminding everyone of the importance of supporting the emotional and mental well-being of our students, staff, and families.

In June, the Board wore purple for Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, recognizing the many families whose loved ones are affected by these conditions.

In July, they wore yellow for Sarcoma Awareness Month, helping bring attention to a rare form of cancer and the individuals and families impacted by it.
Although each color represents a different cause, the message behind the initiative remains the same: awareness matters.

Sometimes, a simple gesture can start a conversation, show support, and remind someone that they are not alone. The Board’s hope is that this initiative encourages more members of our school community to participate, learn, and help shine a light on causes that deserve to be seen and heard.

Our district is proud to have partnered with coLAB Arts this summer for a Middle School Summer Theatre Institute!

Our incredible students created a musical titled “A New Note,” a cautionary tale about issues with artificial intelligence eliminating identity and voice. Over two weeks in July, middle school students worked to explore identity, community, ensemble, storytelling, technique, reflection, and much more.

Students created the music, lyrics, and book for this musical and shared their process with the community in an inspiring afternoon filled with dialogue about art and creativity.

Thanks to Visual & Performing Arts Supervisor Rebekah Sterlacci for facilitating such a valuable partnership!
