Great little school. It's strength is in it's smallness. Rich curriculum for a small school. The staff knows our kids and thinks through how to reach them and actualize them to their potential. It's a safe place for my kids to attend. Strong administration and strong teaching. Strong extra- & co-curricular programs. Keep up the great work Morristown Jr/Sr High School! Close Quote
