History

edit

Completed at a cost of $500,000 (equivalent to $8.8 million in 2023), ceremonies were held in October 1927 to dedicate the building "to the memory of Haddonfield residents killed in the World War."[4] Four residents died in the war.[5]

In May 1954, with enrollment exceeding the school's target of 1,000, the Haddonfield district notified the Delaware Township School District (since renamed as the Cherry Hill Public Schools) that its students would no longer be taken after June 1956, having already told the Gloucester Township Public Schools a year earlier that its students would no longer be accepted after June 1955. While there were 420 Haddonfield students, there were a total of 760 students as part of sending/receiving relationships, including about 270 from Gloucester Township, 200 from Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill), 90 from Haddon Township, 90 from Voorhees Township, 75 from Evesham Township, 20 from Gibbsboro and smaller numbers from Lawnside and Woodlynne.[6]

Students from Gibbsboro and Voorhees Township, New Jersey had attended the district's high school as part of sending agreements with the Gibbsboro School District and the Voorhees Township Public Schools until Eastern Regional High School opened in September 1965.[7]

In 1992, Gwen Florio of the Philadelphia Inquirer described Haddonfield Memorial HS as "pretty, petite, and rich — the "trophy school" of South Jersey districts."[8] In 1992 Merchantville School District considered severing its send-receive relationship with Pennsauken School District, in which Merchantville sent students to Pennsauken High School, so Merchantville could send them to Haddonfield Memorial High instead. John Ellis, the New Jersey State Commissioner of Education, blocked Merchantville leaving the partnership on the grounds that it would cause more white students to leave Pennsauken High.[8]
