Due to safety concerns and recent damage caused by student use of e-bikes, we will no longer permit e-bikes and electric scooters on or around our athletic fields or in crowded areas. Please note that the police have been asked to help enforce this on our school property. Safety of our staff and students continues to be our focus. Thank you!

Cresskill MS/HS honors this solemn memorial, especially NYPD John Coughlin (CHS ‘76) & PAPD John Cortazzo (CHS ‘79) 🇺🇸🙏🐾

I have to give a big thumbs-up to the Class of 2026! They are already ramping up the school spirit BEFORE their senior year even begins. We love to see this energy and passion from our senior class! Go Cougars!

Due to tomorrow’s weather forecast that includes possible thunderstorms, the Cresskill High School graduation ceremony will be held indoors in the gymnasium at 6:30pm, not on the football field. All guests are welcome to join and no tickets are needed. Based on the size of the graduating class and past experience with indoor graduation events, we anticipate enough available seating to accommodate all guests in the gym. However, we will also have the auditorium available for livestream viewing if needed and/or if anyone prefers that seating option. Please use the following link tomorrow to access the livestream:youtube.com/live/RMyJCLD7wSU?feature=share
