- History
-
Pinelands Regional High School opened in September 1979, originally housing grades 7-12 from Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, Bass River, and Eagleswood. Prior to the opening of the school, students from those towns attended Southern Regional School District in Manahawkin. In 1991, Pinelands Middle School opened across the street for students in grades 7-8. Also in the 90s, a new building was completed next to the high school, which houses a daycare center called "Rainbow Express". Students taking Child Care classes go to class in this building to help with the daycare kids. In 2002, the Middle School was expanded and the 9th grade was moved there. When the expansion was completed at the Middle School, it was renamed "Pinelands Regional Junior High School" while the High School was renamed the "Senior High School", although this name is rarely used.
- Most of the High School is centered around a "Commons" area, which is a two-story open court with skylights, benches, and planters. Most of the commons feeds into a 3-story mall-like hallway where most of the classrooms are off of. Most elective classes, such as Art rooms, Shop classes, Auto tech, etc. are located in the one-story "D-wing" away from the rest of the classrooms, surrounding the Auditorium. This wing formerly housed remedial classes, causing the remedial students to be called "D-wingers". Many of these classes have since moved to other parts of the school or to a new off-site building built near the Athletic fields that opened in 2009.
- Most of the school, especially the Commons area, has remained unchanged since its 1979 opening. Elements from the decade, such as globe lighting, planters, and earth tones are present. In 2008, the lockers, which were formerly painted in a 70s-esque repeating orange-yellow-red-brown pattern were painted a dark green, as well as the replacement of outdated floor tiles in hallways. Other recent improvements include an expanded parking lot, an electronic sign out front, and permanent lighting on the football field.
- Athletics
-
The Pinelands Regional High School Wildcats compete in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore. All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Pinelands Regional's strongest athletic sport is wrestling where it has won 9 division titles, 2 district titles, and has been ranked in the top 20 in the state 4 times. Pinelands has also been very successful in cheerleading where it has won a state championship and placed numerous times at nationals.
- WCAT
-
WCAT is a Television station on local channel 21 for the area that the district serves. Most of the cast and crew is made up of students who take the class as an elective. The channel shows live morning announcements at 7:32am daily, followed by a commercial or short skit made by members of the WCAT class. Throughout the day, especially during lunch periods, other school programs or past school events are shown on the channel, usually shown on TVs in the cafeteria. Throughout the rest of the day, however, the channel is comprised of school or community announcements typical of Public access networks.
