Shared-Time – the District offers a myriad of regular education and self-contained special education programs on a half-time basis. In this scenario, students attend their local high school for all academic course work and spend either the morning or the afternoon session on our Scotch Plains campus for their vocational-technical specialization. Adult High School – provides an opportunity for students without a high school diploma to enroll in our adult high school program. This offering is available on our Scotch Plains campus as well as in satellite locations in Plainfield and Elizabeth. Students earn a state-endorsed New Jersey high school diploma.
