Message from School Superintendent Dr. Timothy Thurman: I am excited to announce that the construction of the new high school is approved and set to begin. It has been my vision to build a facility that will meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff. This will be a facility that is up to date, with modern technology, and a place our students can be proud of. It has been a long time coming! I would like to thank all who have contributed to this project for their help and support, especially the Linden City Board of Education for their vision and support. Finally, I would like to thank God for turning this vision into a reality!
