Springfield’s public high school is named after the revolutionary war veteran and signer of the constitution Jonathan Dayton. The school currently serves just over 500 students and was named the 32nd-ranked public high school in the state by New Jersey Monthly magazine in 2008.
The school’s sports teams are called the Bulldogs, and the dog theme is carried over for other activities, including the Dawg Print student newspaper. Other student-run media includes a news show broadcast daily throughout the school.
Elizabeth Cresci is the principal.
