New Jersey is the first state in the nation to include Arts Education enrollment information in its statewide school report cards.

"Research shows a strong connection between arts education and success in college and career. Arts education is crucial in unleashing the creativity and innovation that are needed to succeed in today's workforce. I'm proud that New Jersey is at the forefront of this effort."~Education Commissioner Chris Cerf 
  
East Brunswick Schools is proud to announce that while the state average for students enrolled in at least one arts course is 46.3%, East Brunswick High School reported an enrollment of 81%.
