I like the picture. It's the new sign that never says too much. They want you to visit the web site rather than put real information for all to see. I wonder if they will put this news on the sign. After all, it is something to be proud of. Congratulations to Marlboro HS.

Why was money spent on the sign when it wasn't going to be used the way it's intended? I pass many schools with electronic signs and they are always broadcasting information. That's what it's there for. The electronic signs are supposed to be easier simply because you only type something into a computer and need not worry about the weather. Of course there are the trees which block one way from seeing anything, but that's not an excuse.
So I think money was not only wasted on this project, but someone is being very lazy. How long does it take to type something in? Go past Freehold Borough HS and see what a sign is supposed to be used for. Or try another district. Matawan also seems to know how to use theirs as well. And no accidents either.

Just want to remind everyone that this article is about the great accomplishment of the faculty, staff and students! This picture is just the only one I have right now of the high school that doesn't have snow in it!
