Rep. Leonard Lance (NJ-7), visited on April 10 to present a special American flag to the Upper School.
The flag flew over the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. in honor of the class of 2016 on March 1. The eighth graders study government and requested the flag be flown as a way to cap off the lesson.
"I hope it will be flown with pride over this great institution for many years to come," Congressman Lance said.
