The HMHS Campus is transformed, and much of that transformation can be attributed to the hard work and generosity of our alumni, community members and local business.  On campus four major projects were completed: the entry gardens on Kings Highway, the main courtyard, the Baker Track/stadium courtyard, and the Sarah Tarditi Gallagher Garden.

Superintendent Chuck Klaus in his recent newsletter commented on the Stadium Courtyard project.   Mr. Klaus said, “With the help of the Haddonfield Educational Trust, the area behind the stadium has been upgraded. What was once an expanse of blacktop is now a showpiece for spectators to experience at school events.”  This space is highlighted by the beautifully rendered Haddonfield Bulldog tile installation, and the Legacy Walk which honors HMHS Hall of Famers, Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients, alumni, coaches and community members. The Haddonfield Alumni Society through the Annual Pig Roast was chiefly responsible for making the gifts that provided the pavers for the Lifetime Achievement recipients and Hall of Fame honorees. 

​

HMHS “curb appeal” has been enhanced significantly by the renovation and replanting of the garden beds at the front entry to the high school.  With direction from landscape architect, Lynn Raus, volunteers planted the new material and maintained the beds throughout the summer heat.  Ms. Raus, parent of a current HMHS student, donated her time and her designs for all three areas being renovated.  In the main courtyard, all the garden beds have been replanted and four brick sitting walls have been constructed that match the two sitting walls at the entrance to the courtyard. The newly renovated courtyard played a feature role in the virtual graduation held in June.  Graduates received their diplomas and walked through the courtyard.

​

The final phase of our project, the Sarah Tarditi Gallagher Garden was incorporated into a larger renovation of the largely unused space between the A and C buildings.  The Board of Education, seeking opportunities to better utilize campus space, created a secure area that will serve multiple uses.  One area will serve as an outdoor classroom with stadium seating, a second garden space will have multiple uses including outdoor study and seating and a third area will function to support the overflow from lunch. 

The HET Board is deeply grateful to all those who have supported the golf tournament over the past two years including local businesses, community members and alumni/ae.
