Glassboro Public High School: High Street

By Carly Shaffer, Rowan University Libraries Digital Scholarship Center Intern

This is Glassboro's first High School. It was built in 1913 and located on the corner of High Street and Popular Street at the approximate map coordinates 39.703382, -75.113272. The structure served as the high school from 1913 to 1946, when a new high school was built on Delsea Drive.

In 1946, the building was sold to St. Bridget's Church and used as Glassboro's first parochial school. In 1971, a new St. Bridget's School was constructed, and the old school was demolished to make way for a playground.

In the mid-2000s, the area was cleared for new development.
