The schools of Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey have long been recognized for scholastic excellence and enthusiastic school spirit. Over the years, there have been many people who have made positive contributions to these two Beach traditions. The communities served have always been most supportive. In recent years a number of factors have come together making it financially more difficult than ever for the school district. Because the Quality of Education Act has designated our school district as "wealthy", we have lost much of our state aid. The law has also severely "capped" the district's ability to raise funding through taxes. The academic and school spirit traditions remain strong, yet there is a real need for help.
