Camden County Technical Schools Gloucester Township Campus, also called Camden County Tech, is a vocational-technical public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades located in Gloucester Township, in the U.S. state of New Jersey (however it uses a Sicklerville mailing address), that operates as part of the Camden County Technical Schools. The school serves students from all of Camden County, and was opened in 1969 as the district's second high school, with the goal of expanding access in the eastern, more rural portion of Camden County.[1]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,394 students and 124.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.2:1. There were 398 students (28.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 106 (7.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]

Athletics

"The Pennsauken campus is about the size of a typical, urban high school, occupying a space the size of a large city block. It was built in 1928, when most of Camden County's population was centered on the largest city in South Jersey: Camden. Back then, mostly farms existed east of Camden. The Gloucester Township campus was constructed in 1969, when development started to stretch out to the far eastern portion of the county, according to Superintendent of Schools R. Sanders Haldeman."
