As we honor the memory of Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver this week, we remember her words upon the completion of the new Sheila Oliver Academy in 2020.
“Educational facilities must evolve and grow with ever-changing technological and societal demands and this new state of the art school was designed not just to meet the needs of students in today’s world but to be adaptable to the needs of the world to come. I thank Governor Murphy, the SDA, and the East Orange community for this great honor and I wish the Academy much success in serving and educating New Jersey’s future generations.”

Our sincerest condolences are extended to family, friends, and colleagues of Lieutenant Governor Oliver. Her legacy will serve as a lasting inspiration.

This past Wednesday, SDA joined Plainfield Public Schools for a ribbon cutting at the new Charles and Anna Booker School!

Mr. and Mrs. Booker, the namesakes of the new school, were on hand to cut the ribbon and celebrate with the Plainfield community. The School was named by the Plainfield BOE in honor of longtime civil rights activists Charles and Anna Booker. In 1965, the Bookers won a legal case, Booker v. Board of Education of City of Plainfield, to end segregation in Plainfield schools.

The new school will open its doors this fall to students. Welcome home Booker Badgers!
