History
In the mid 1990s, overcrowding was becoming a problem at the Arthur Rann Middle School. A new middle school was proposed, but voters rejected a $17.2 million referendum held on 3 October 1995. In October 1997, a $18.9 million referendum to build the school was approved by Galloway Township voters. Ground for a new middle school was broken on September 26, 1998. Galloway Township Middle School opened in February 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
