On Saturday, April 25, the SBHS Chess Club hosted its annual Chessathon, bringing together 110 students from across the South Brunswick School District for a day of chess, learning, and fun. Students from every South Brunswick school participated, making it a true K–12 community event.

The championship match featured Santhosh Ayyappan and 7th grader Vaisali Garnepudi of Crossroads South. After several close games, Santhosh won an exciting one-minute tiebreaker to earn his second straight Chessathon title.

As the largest Chessathon yet, the event was a great way to celebrate a successful season. The SBHS Chess Club looks forward to making it even bigger in the years ahead.

2026–2027 Redistricting Update

On Tuesday, May 12th, we held a Redistricting meeting at Crossroads South Middle School where all families affected by the upcoming changes were invited to attend, ask questions, and share their thoughts and concerns. We were pleased to have more than 50 families participate in the meeting, bringing forward many thoughtful questions and important points for discussion.

During the meeting, we discussed the transition process and reassured families that all students impacted by the redistricting will receive the support they need to ensure a smooth and successful adjustment. We are equally committed to supporting our families throughout this transition as well.

We understand that change and adjustment are not always easy, but our goal is to make this process as smooth, supportive, and positive as possible for everyone involved.
