Repairs Complete, East Brunswick High School Returns For In Person Classes

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – Students and staff at East Brunswick High School have returned to the building for in-person classes.

Students from the school were on remote learning last week after a water main break under the main corridor required the building to be shut for repair work.

Once the repair work was complete, officials conducted water testing before students and staff could return to the building.

“This water line repair was more complex than most people realize. I know there was no shortage of speculation this past week about how quickly students and staff could return,” Superintendent Victor Valeski told the community in a letter.

“The success of completing this repair and all mandatory water testing was a culmination of the work and contributions of many, all the way though this weekend our contractors, environmental professionals, laboratories who expedited testing, EB Township, our talented facilities team and of course our Board of Education for their ongoing support as we dealt with each new problem throughout this lengthy repair.”

Valeski then went on to thank the students, staff, administration and families navigating the unexpected disruption with "typical EB focus on excellence.”
