When it comes to education, the little things can make a big difference. As the Principal of Watchung Hills Regional High School (WHRHS), Bill Librera, said, "Extraordinary things happen on ordinary days." This simple phrase speaks to the power of consistent effort, dedication, and innovation in education. At Watchung Hills, this idea is not just a catchphrase but a guiding principle that has helped the school redefine education in New Jersey high school students.

In this blog, we'll take a closer look at how Watchung Hills RHS has transformed ordinary days into extraordinary ones.

Watchung Hills Regional High School (WHRHS) located in Warren, New Jersey has been making waves with its innovative approach to education. Since traditional school ranking websites may not give the full picture of what parents really want to know about the local schools and their programs, Judith Weiniger of Weiniger Realty, visited the school to interview Principal Bill Librera to find out more about what makes Watchung Hills special.

WHRHS is a comprehensive high school that serves four different middle schools in the region: Warren, Watchung, Long Hill, and Green Brook. This benefits the students to expand their middle school friend relationships and make new friends. Many students may already know one another from local hobbies outside of school, like music and art plus local sports. Additionally, the school's size allows for a wider range of programs to be offered.


The school takes pride in its excellence in core curriculum classes, and it also provides a vast array of electives and programs that allow students to explore their passions. Each year, the opportunities within the electives grow, providing more options for students to explore. Furthermore, the school offers a lively club program with about 60 clubs per year, ranging from community service initiatives to self-improvement activities and determined by student input.


The arts department at Watchung Hills is another point of pride, winning annual awards, while the math club has recently been crowned as the reigning state champion of the year. The school, however, places more emphasis on its process rather than achievements. Principal Librera emphasizes that when an institution has a solid foundation and a good process, it tends to produce good results.


For parents looking for the best high schools for their children in New Jersey, WHRHS offers robust educational opportunities. Students leave WHRHS with a sense of confidence, having navigated their path, pursued their interests, and achieved great things.


Watchung Hills Regional High School has become a beloved institution for both parents and students and with its unique approach to education, comprehensive curriculum, and caring staff, it has become a beacon for those seeking this kind of educational experience.
