Southern Regional Seniors Return To 5 Days In-Person

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — Seniors at Southern Regional High School began attending class in-person five days per week on Tuesday.

Principal Eric Wilhelm announced seniors' transition to full-time instruction in a letter to parents this past weekend.

“I write this letter with incredible gratitude and pride that you are a member of our senior class, the leaders of our building and will be some of the first students to return to full-time in-person instruction since March of 2020,” Wilhelm said. “Our goal with your return is to continue to follow existing Covid safety procedures and protocols and to build on the success that you and your classmates will establish.”

Wilhelm said plans are underway to incrementally initiate the return of underclassmen.

Timelines for the return of other classes will be posted online as school officials establish those dates.
