Congratulations to Coach Muce and the Melvin H. Kreps Middle School Girls JV Soccer team on their undefeated season. This is the first undefeated season for the program since 2019 and solidifies girls soccer as the sport with the most undefeated seasons at Kreps.

Congratulations to our undefeated Melvin H. Kreps Middle School football team! They were recognized before the Hightstown High School football game on October 30! #GoCougars

Melvin H. Kreps Middle School students had a fun afternoon at Lee’s Turkey Farm! They got to walk around the farm and fill their bags with all different types of vegetables!

Our ESL 1 multilingual learners recently had the opportunity to dive into the history of Hightstown on a special trip organized by Mr. White and Mrs. Dumbra. Students explored local historical sites and visited the Hightstown Museum, where they engaged with artifacts and stories that brought the town’s past to life. This hands-on experience not only enriched their understanding of the community’s heritage but also allowed them to practice language skills in a real-world setting, making the day both educational and memorable.
