History edit

The school, which was long named in honor of President Woodrow Wilson, was opened in 1930 as a junior high school. Wilson, a Democrat was the 28th president of the United States and 34th Governor of New Jersey. It was converted to a high school in 1933.[4]

The school had been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools until 2011, when the school's accreditation status was removed.[5]

In June 2020, Camden School Superintendent Katrina McCombs announced that the district would rename the school due to Wilson's racist views.[4] A committee consisting of community members, students, alumni and administrators will determine the new name.[6] The school was formally renamed to Eastside High School in January 2022.[7]
