KIPP New Jersey Public Schools

And just like that, it’s summer!

KIPP New Jersey students are officially running into summer after an incredible school year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories. Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making this year so special.

Have a safe and fun summer—we can’t wait to see everyone back in the fall and welcome our newest students for another great year ahead!

Today, we honor Juneteenth and celebrate the freedom, resilience, and achievements of African Americans. As we reflect on this important day in our nation’s history, we recognize the ongoing work of building a more just and equitable future for all.

Yesterday, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new field at KIPP Cooper Norcross High School, a milestone that represents our commitment to providing students with the opportunities, resources, and experiences they deserve.

This new space will be home to our student-athletes, school community, and future generations of KIPP Cooper Norcross students. As Principal Marcus Taylor shared at the event, "This field represents investment, belief, and a commitment to the young people of Camden."

George E. Norcross III described the facility as "the premier stadium in all of Camden County, and perhaps all of South Jersey," a reflection of the investment being made in Camden students and their future.

We're proud to continue creating opportunities and experiences that help our students thrive both on and off the field.

This weekend, families, students, and community members came together for a Community Carnival! Held at the future site of KIPP Life Academy’s new school building, the event brought neighbors together for an afternoon of fun while celebrating what’s ahead for the school and the community. We can’t wait to see this space become the future home of KIPP Life students.
