Oakcrest High School Vandalized; No Police Report Filed by District

The ongoing controversy regarding Oakcrest Principal Joseph Carruth has now spilled over into vandalism at the Oakcrest High School which is located in Hamilton Township. According to sources the vandalism occurred in the evening of Monday, June 6, 2016. 

Oakcrest which is part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District appeared to be on the right track when Carruth was unanimously appointed by the Regional School Board on November 17, 2014.

Superintendent John Keenan who also appears to be back in the middle of the controversy, stated in 2014, Carruth was "known for his ability to establish meaningful relationships with students, teachers, and parents alike, Carruth’s strong administrative, organizational and communication skills will be valuable assets as he assumes his role of Oakcrest High School principal."
