🎶✨ Carnegie Hall, here they come! ✨🎶

We are incredibly proud to share that the Rahway High School Choir has been selected to perform at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall this June as part of the National Youth Chorus! 🎤🏛️

This prestigious invitation is a testament to the talent, dedication, and hard work of our student musicians, as well as the unwavering support of our staff, families, administration, and Board of Education. As Choir Director Mr. Van Wyk says, it truly takes a village.

This performance continues a growing tradition of excellence for Rahway’s performing arts program and provides our students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase their talents on one of the most celebrated stages in the world.

Rahway High School JAG representing Rahway High School's finest!

🎓✨ EXCELLENCE TAKES MANY FORMS.

Congratulations to Rahway JAG Leaders Justin Gibson ( #1 Valedictorian), Jalissa Rayo-Celis ( #2 Salutatorian), and Nyasia Wynn ( #5) for earning spots in the Top 10 of the Rahway High School Class of 2026!

While we are incredibly proud of their academic achievements, we are even more proud of the young leaders they have become.

At Rahway JAG, success is not measured by GPA alone. It is measured by growth, leadership, service, resilience, character, and the impact our students have on those around them. Justin, Jalissa, and Nyasia have used their gifts and talents not only to excel in the classroom, but also to strengthen their school, serve their community, and help others along the way.

Their accomplishments are a reminder that when young people are challenged, supported, and given opportunities to lead, amazing things can happen.

Congratulations, Justin, Jalissa, and Nyasia. Thank you for representing Rahway JAG, Rahway High School, and our community with excellence. The future is bright because of leaders like you. ❤️🖤

On June 3, 2026, Rahway High School welcomed the incoming freshman class and their families for the annual Freshman Orientation. The evening began with a presentation by Principal Dr. Panichi, who outlined the foundational expectations that guide the RHS community. Dr. Panichi shared critical information regarding attendance and grading policies, providing families with a clear roadmap for academic success and ensuring everyone feels prepared for the transition this fall.

Following the presentation, incoming freshmen toured the building to familiarize themselves with the school layout. During these tours, students met with club and athletic advisors to learn about the various extracurricular opportunities available at RHS. This experience provided our newest students with a practical preview of high school life and highlighted the many ways they can get involved in the school community.
