History

Prior to the opening of Maple Shade High School in 1972, the township's students had been sent for 40 years to Merchantville High School in neighboring Camden County. With the loss of Maple Shade students, Merchantville closed its high school after the end of the 1971-72 school year and started sending its students to Pennsauken High School for grades nine through twelve.[12]
