[edit] Awards and recognition
The school was the 111th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 94th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[8] The school was also ranked 94th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[9] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 105th out of 367 public high schools statewide in its 2009-10 rankings which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[10]
In 2009, six members of the Senior class were named recipients of the Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Scholar award.[citation needed]
[edit] Athletics
The Shore Regional High School Blue Devils compete in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore.[11] All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County, and the league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[12]
Shore Regional holds multiple successful programs. The most successful men's program has been the football team. Consistently contenders in small Group (I/II) play, the football team won the NJSIAA state sectional championships in Central Jersey Group II in 1981-82 and 1988, and in Central Jersey Group I in 1997 and 2010.[13] Undefeated seasons: 8-0-1: 1964, 9-0: 1978 and 1984, 11-0: 1981.
With the emergence of Women's Lacrosse in the Shore Conference, Shore Regional now has two premier state-recognized women's programs. The Women's Field Hockey team has enjoyed great success for decades, with Coach Nancy Williams having won 700 games in 37 years coaching, making her the winningest coach in the nation.[14][15]
The women's lacrosse program has quickly become a dynasty at the Shore Conference and State level. Since its inception the program has dominated the Shore Conference tournament winning multiple State titles.
Shore Regional won its first state title in men's cross country title during the 2001 season. That team went on to repeat as Group I state champions in 2002. The women's cross country team won their first state title in 2001 season. That team went on to repeat as state champions in 2002 in Group I, and again in both 2003 and 2004 in Group II.[16]
The 2006 girls lacrosse team made Shore Regional and Shore Conference history by winning the Group B Championship against West Essex High School on June 6, 2006. This win enabled the team to advance to the state final against Moorestown High School, the furthest any team from Shore Regional team in the history of the lacrosse program has ever advanced this far. The girls lacrosse won the 2007 South, Group I state sectional championship, edging Holy Cross High School 10-9 in the tournament final.[17] The team moved on to win the Group I State Championship with a 9-7 win vs. Mountain Lakes High School.[18]
In 2007, the field hockey team won the North II, Group I state sectional championship with a 2-1 win over Pingry School in the tournament final.[19]
[edit] Shore Players
Shore Players, The Shore Regional theatre department, has focused mainly on musicals and has performed productions such as West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease, Seussical, Evita, and one of their largest productions yet, Beauty and the Beast(winning several Count Basie Awards[20] such as Overall Musical, Outstanding Choreography, Set Design and Chorus). For the past 13 years Shore Players has been directed and produced by Allen and Meredith Shields; has also for several years been choreographed by Nicole DiVincenzo (recipient of the 2002 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award for Outstanding Choreography in Shore's production of The Wizard of Oz); had set and costume designed by Fred Sorrentino and lighting designed by Rob Ulrich and his associate Hillary Marsh. Shore Players most recent musical "Over Here!" in the spring of 2009 was awarded 3 Basie Awards: Outstanding Costume Design, Outstanding Choreography, and Outstanding Lighting Design.

[edit] Band Program
In the band program there are several subdivisions such as jazz band, concert band, marching band, etc.
[edit] Budget problems
The Shore Regional school district has been hit with budget problems in the recent years. The budget for the 2006-2007 school year failed to pass after it was turned down by two of the sending districts. The proposed budget included extensive renovations of sports fields and expansion of the school's parking lot.[citation needed]
[edit] Construction
Due to a recent passing of the budget, the school is under construction to replace the heating, renovate rooms, and install new air conditioning to the rooms. Due to the construction the rear cafeteria parking lot is blocked off as it is currently being used to store supplies. Only those with deliveries or workers are allowed beyond the blockades.
