A Message From Dr. Righi A Message From Dr. Righi

Help us celebrate the retirement of Jim Mathews, WHS Custodian. We could not fully detail the impact Mr. Matthews has had on many, and it would be hard to find someone who didn’t feel he was dedicated, positive, caring, and an extremely hard worker. Jim has been the person students and staff could turn to for help at Wall High School since 2007.


As a long time Wall resident, Jim and his wife have raised two daughters who attended the Wall Public Schools. He looks forward to a retirement near his family in North Carolina where he can relax and cast a reel. He will be greatly missed in our Crimson Hallways!

The Social Club: The Polar Express Movie Night 🍿

In December, the Social Club hosted a K-12 event for students with disabilities. Parents were invited to drop off their children with faculty volunteers and Social Club members, so that they could enjoy a ‘Night Out’. The event took place at the Brick AMC movie theater and featured a private showing of the "Polar Express". Social Club members provided extra fun such as pictures with Santa, Holiday Dancers, jingle bells for all movie goers, and train conductors who punched golden train tickets.
