On Monday, March 16th, the Morris School District paid tribute to 20 outstanding staff members, officially honoring them as the 2025-2026 Governor’s Educators of the Year. The event recognized the teachers and educational services professionals who have demonstrated exceptional support for their students and the district.

Morris School District administrators hosted a "State of Our Facilities" presentation on March 9 to share information on the most pressing needs across the district’s 10 schools. The district is planning a bond referendum in the fall of 2026.  

At the Board of Education meeting held on February 25, 2026, the Morris School District officially appointed Mr. Vincent Marchese as the sole principal of Frelinghuysen Middle School (FMS). A veteran educator within the district, Mr. Marchese formally embraces this leadership role with a clear vision for fostering a cohesive and thriving school community.

The Morris School District is proud to provide ample opportunities in the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our teachers are extremely dedicated and skilled in promoting and developing creativity, aptitude, and enthusiasm within their respective fields. Our students excel in the art studio, on stage, and in the graphic arts.
