    Aviation Program
    Our district offers a 3-year elective sequence in partnership with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) that affords students the opportunity to earn industry credentials in manned and unmanned aircraft systems.  The Aviation program is available to all students enrolled in the Morris Hills Regional District as an elective sequence; a small number of seats are available by application for out-of-district students specifically interested in the Aviation Program.

    Math and Science Magnet Program
    The Math and Science Magnet Program (MSM) is a four-year honors program that provides a challenging and focused math/science course sequence where students will invent, design, and conduct original research projects that will yield a cumulative and sound argument.  Students will pick an area of specialization as well as free electives from a broad range of other disciplines.  The Research Based Analysis/AP Capstone course sequence will allow students the opportunity to work with experts in the field while pursuing their individual areas of interest in applied mathematics and science.
