Hundreds Walk Out At New Brunswick High School

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ —Hundreds of students at New Brunswick High School, New Brunswick Middle School, Woodrow Wilson School, and Paul Robeson School participated in Wednesday's nationwide demonstration against gun violence, which also memorialized those who lost their lives last month at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The students took the lead in planning the events at all four schools, and were supported by New Brunswick Public Schools faculty, staff, and administrators.

New Brunswick Mayor James Cahill and Dr. Aubrey Johnson, Superintendent of Schools, board of education members, and a school principal were among the speakers at the high school.

“I support their commitment to making changes for a more peaceful future,” Johnson said. “Voices raised in solidarity do not go unnoticed.”
