Dear Willingboro Community,
I am writing to you in my role as Acting Superintendent of the Willingboro Public School District to share an important update regarding our district realignment plan. This letter serves as formal notice that there is a possibility your child(ren) may be moved to a different school as part of our district-wide realignment intended to support smaller class sizes and strengthen student academic growth and success.
Most Pre-Kindergarten students will attend classes within J.C. Stuart Early Childhood; however, a few may remain at Garfield East, as explained in our virtual info sessions with minor scheduling adjustments to optimize classroom space and resources. Hawthorne, Twin Hills, and W.R. James will serve grades K-3; Garfield East will serve Pre K-3-3rd grade. James A. Cotten will serve grades 4-5. Memorial Middle School will serve grades 6-8, Willingboro High School will serve grades 9-12, and the Alternative Program will serve grades 6-12 for eligible students.
The realignment is designed to support overcrowding, thus creating smaller class sizes, enabling more targeted instruction and enhanced opportunities for student success. This realignment will also support more coherent grade-level cohorts and streamlined transitions as students progress through the district.
We are actively collaborating with the Special Services department to maintain each student’s placement whenever possible, ensuring continuity of support services and accommodations. If a change in placement is deemed necessary to best support a student’s needs, you will be informed and provided with details about any required adjustments.
Official notification regarding whether your child(ren) will be attending a new school will be issued in early July. This notice will include your child’s current and prospective placements, timelines, transportation details, and a contact point for questions. We understand that changes can be challenging for families. We are committed to clear communication, support resources, and a smooth transition process to minimize disruption and promote a positive start to the new school year.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to ensure our students are prepared to begin the new year in a setting that best supports their learning and growth. If you have immediate questions or concerns, please contact the district through our OnFlo system located on our website.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Marti Hill-Parker
Acting Superintendent of Schools/Curriculum and Instruction
Willingboro Public School District

Dear Chimera Community,
Willingboro Public Schools is proud to welcome Dr. Andre D. Spencer as the district’s new Superintendent of Schools, effective Monday, August 17, 2026, pending Executive County Superintendent approval.
Dr. Spencer joins Willingboro as an accomplished educational leader with 29 years of public education experience, including 15 years as a superintendent. Throughout his career, he has remained deeply committed to equity, academic excellence, student-centered leadership, and ensuring that every scholar has access to a high-quality education that prepares them to become productive learners and global citizens.
Dr. Spencer has served in several key educational leadership roles, including as a science teacher, assistant principal, principal, network team lead, school leadership officer/regional superintendent, superintendent, and executive superintendent. Most recently, he served as Superintendent of Teaneck Public Schools, where he championed innovative academic pathways, including an early college high school, Career and Technical Education pathways, and International Baccalaureate programs, while also successfully increasing the district’s four-year graduation rate.
“Leadership is ultimately about service, and there is no greater honor than serving the families and scholars of Willingboro,” said Dr. Spencer. “I extend my sincere appreciation to the Board of Education and the entire community for this extraordinary opportunity to serve. I am eager to listen, learn, and partner with you, as we build on Willingboro’s strong foundations to ensure every scholar has the support and resources they need to Reach Individual Scholar Excellence (R.I.S.E.).”
Dr. Denise King, President of the Willingboro Board of Education, also shared her excitement in welcoming Dr. Spencer to the district.
“As we proudly welcome Dr. Andre Spencer to the Willingboro School District, we look forward to partnering with him in advancing our shared commitment to R.I.S.E.—Reaching Individual Scholar Excellence. Together, we will continue to create opportunities that empower every student to reach their highest potential, support our dedicated teachers and staff, and strengthen the connections that unite our schools and community. We are excited for this new chapter of leadership and the positive impact Dr. Spencer will have on the future of Willingboro.”
As Dr. Spencer begins his leadership journey in Willingboro, he will focus on listening, learning, building relationships, and partnering with students, staff, families, and community members. In the coming weeks, the district will share additional information regarding community meet-and-greets, school visits, listening sessions, and opportunities to connect with Dr. Spencer.
We invite you to visit our welcome webpage to learn more about Dr. Spencer and read the full announcement.
