All juniors will be taking the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment on Monday, March 13, 2023 through Thursday, March 16, 2023.

Juniors will be tested in English/Literacy and Mathematics. These tests are Required to Graduate. The past couple of years we saw this requirement waived, however, all indications seem to be these tests are, once again, required to graduate from a New Jersey High School.

Juniors should arrive to school well-rested and ready to do their best, every school day, especially during testing days.

I'm happy to announce that one of our Wall High School teachers, Samantha Santiago, has been selected as one of this year's recipients of the Crimson Knights Foundation Award. Scroll down to learn more about Mrs. Santiago. Congratulations to another Wall HS superstar!
