The first Carteret High School graduating class of 1926!

The photo is taken from the "Loudspeaker" a literary/ news publication and you will notice that there are names of classmates missing in the caption.

(the first "Loudspeaker' yearbook was produced for the class of 1942)

100 years ago, Carteret High School celebrated its first graduating class with guest speaker then NJ Governor A. Harry Moore. A proud accomplishment for graduates, parents, staff and the Borough of Carteret! This article is from the Perth Amboy Evening News. (A much larger article appears in the June 18, 1926, edition of the Carteret Press found in the local history digital newspapers at Woodbridge Library.)

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
