The Pinelands Regional School District got a big injection of good news at its May 15 Board of Education meeting. Stephen Kubricki, who represents Little Egg Harbor Township on the board, announced that Pinelands had finished third out of the 16 Ocean County high schools in the 2019 rankings of public high schools in the United States by U.S. News and World Report.

“We’re number three – that goes from Point Pleasant to here,” said Kubricki.
