Haddonfield
Principal Priolo has worked hard to establish anti-bullying and anti-hate programs, recently earning praise in the form of a “No Place for Hate” designation by the national Anti-Defamation League last month. The school completed programs throughout the year to earn the honor, including presenting a one-man play about discrimination and working with an animal rescue group to combat stereotypes about pit bulls.
