The manager of Bernardsville Centre (the shopping center that houses Kings, Burger King, etc.) and the Bernardsville Police have informed BHS that during this past summer they have encountered problems with disruptive and uncooperative high school students at the Centre. The Centre manager notified BHS that they will be installing a new fence and that the cut through from BHS to the Centre will be closed. Students are not permitted to walk through the woods to the Centre. Students are also prohibited from climbing over retaining walls and/or fences to access the Centre. Any senior students who attempt to leave campus through the woods and/or over the retaining wall/fence will have their senior privileges suspended or revoked.
