As the Principal of Mt. Pleasant School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school’s website.  This site is designed to provide you with an overview of our school, our philosophies, and our dedication to our children. 
At Mt. Pleasant, we have a caring and experienced cadre of highly dedicated professionals who are very proud of their school and its comprehensive and challenging educational programs.  We are West Orange’s “Community of Learners,” and, as such, we are determined to meet the academic and emotional, health and safety needs of our students, on the way to meeting and exceeding the State of New Jersey’s Core Curriculum Content Standards.  Our goal is to help each student achieve his or her full potential.
As you visit our site, please take notice of the plethora of student work that represents the best of curricula in action.  You will also learn how our staff’s enthusiasm and zest for creativity permeates every aspect of our daily life at Mt. Pleasant.  Please check our Mountain Lion Monthly Newsletter for the latest in school events and “happenings.”
I believe that the pinnacle of our achievement will be that our students become self-directed, life-long learners, who develop into happy, healthy, and responsible citizens.  Please feel free to contact us often, your involvement in the educational process is a key ingredient for its success.

Sincerely,
