Awards and recognition
Marlboro High School was the 76th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2006 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools.[2]
In 2006, Principal James Mullevey was named Administrator of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Student Councils (NJASC). [3]
The concert band is a notable part of Marlboro High School, with many achievements. Unfortunately, the band director, Mr. Patrick Dalton, is a nepotistic ass, who prefers favoritism over talent. Mr. Dalton. The concert band was invited to Royal Albert Hall, London; the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia; and in Beijing, China, as a part of the 2008 Summer Olympic Series because apparently they are the greatest high school band in all of North America. All invitations were declined due to expense and because the band director Patrick Dalton does not believe in having fun, anger management, or rewarding deserving students, but instead rewards his hundreds of poor traumatized children, forced to devote their lifes to worshipping the sad, dillusioned, fraction of a man that is their father, for doing absolutely nothing.[citation needed]
