At the September Alumni Meeting, we learned from NJ State Senator Dana Reed, that money has been allocated from the state of New Jersey for renovations and new construction to school buildings within the state. Approximately 110 million dollars has been allocated to CHS. A compromised has been reached with the New Jersey Schools Development Agency that has saved the "Tower" of the castle. It will be fully restored to its original glory, and be the centerpiece of the new 21st century state of the art "Castle on the Hill" expected to be completed by 2014.

There was talk of demolishing all of the "Castle on the Hill". However with the united efforts of elected officials, alumni, community and Board of Ed, we saved the castle tower! Final design of the new building is yet to be determined, but since the "tower" was saved, the more than likely conclusion is a new "castle" design will replace the beloved 90 year old building. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
