What school district is Metuchen High School part of?
Metuchen HS is a microcosm of Metuchen itself- small overall population but lots of caring, nurturing people within. Folks who teach at MHS tend to stick around... like any school, there are a few whom you wish would change careers, but overall they are a very dedicated team. Loved growing up there, still have family there, just wish we could afford for my children to grow up there, too, but NJ became too expensive.

I hate my job. The kids keep on cussing me out. I don't even get pay either, even though I teach Calculus 3.
