EDUCATORS WALL OF FAME
The Phillipsburg School District has a long and successful history of providing quality educational programs and services to the students enrolled in the district.

After several collaborative meetings, the partnership proudly launched the Educators Wall of Fame to highlight the legacy and commitment of Phillipsburg’s finest.
