Principal's reflections on the Class of 2020: The Class of 2020 has been a special class at Warren Township High School and they will never be forgotten. We are a large high school, but what makes this group so special is how close of a group they were and that they genuinely cared for each other. Their spirit for learning and making our school climate positive has been outstanding and we will miss them greatly. During their high school career, they have learned the importance being respectful of our differences, being resilient in the face of adversity, the power of being engaged and committed to academics, and the value of being flexible to navigate new realities they have never faced. Because of this, they are well prepared for their future endeavors. I wish them nothing but the best. Thank you Class of 2020 for your lasting impact on Warren Township High School and as always, Go Blue Devils!
