Principal's reflections on the Class of 2021:
The Class of 2021 has been a special class at Warren Township High School and they will never be forgotten. Although we thought much of the experience that the Class of 2020 endured, the Class of 2021 has had an experience like no other and has been resilient through it all. We are a large high school, but what makes this group so special is how they have prepared for life after high school. They may not have had the traditional high school events and activities throughout the past school year, but they have already experienced what the challenges of daily life are like. They are better prepared to pivot when needed, understand what is important to them, have a better understanding of their community, and they have developed critical skills needed to be successful. They have also learned the importance of 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 better prepared for their future endeavors than they realize. I wish them nothing but the best. Thank you Class of 2021 for your lasting impact on Warren Township High School and As Always, Go Blue Devils!
