WOODBINE – The borough recently received a $1 million federal grant to rehabilitate four contaminated properties, including one often referred to as the “old school site.”

What is not commonly known is that the site was the location of Woodbine High School, at Franklin Street and Monroe Avenue. The high school, which had 15 graduates in 1939, was closed in 1943, according to Jane Stark, director of the Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage.
