Athletics
The Moorestown High School Quakers compete in the Burlington County Scholastic League (BCSL), which operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). The league consists of public and non-public high schools covering Burlington County, Mercer County and Ocean County in central New Jersey.
Moorestown High School has a long history of exceptional athletic achievement, including 19 state championships in boys swimming and 15 state championships in field hockey. From 2000 through 2009, the girls lacrosse team has won ten consecutive state championships.
The NJSIAA ranks New Jersey's high school athletic programs every academic year based on their performances in various sports across athletic seasons. Among all of the state's Group III programs, MHS was ranked 2nd in 2006 (one point behind Ramapo High School), 2nd in 2007 and was the Group III winner in 2008, with performances that included first place finishes that season in football, both boys and girls lacrosse, and boys tennis.
Sports Legends of Moorestown was presented by the Historical Society of Moorestown at the Smith-Cadbury Mansion until the end of June, 2010. More than 60 athletes, most of whom are MHS alumni, representing 14 sports were featured.
Bea Thomas, a coaching institution at MHS in field hockey, girls lacrosse and girls swimming, has been featured in The New York Times and Sports Illustrated.
