Forest Hill Elementary

Camden, New Jersey

About

Forest Hill Elementary School opened its doors in September of 1969 in Camden, NJ on a beautifully landscaped seven-acre site at the end of Wildwood Avenue adjacent to Park Boulevard. The circular design of the school not only adds beauty to the physical structure, but also provides for greater flexibility in the usage of available space. The Instructional Media Center forms the core of this circular school reflecting the expanding and vital role of the “traditional” school library.

Dr. Mary Arnold-Frazier was Forest Hill’s first Principal. She was instrumental in the implementation of a variety of innovative programs including the Teacher Corp Program through which twenty-six Forest Hill teachers and support staff received Master’s Degree from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in 1977. Ms. Anita Ricks, a teacher at Forest Hill since its 1969 opening, followed Dr. Frazier as Principal at the school in 1981. Mrs. Maxine L. Campbell, was appointed Principal October 2000 and was followed by Mr. Brian C. Medley in 2008. Mrs. Gail Witherspoon was appointed in 2011.
