See which projects are planned for this summer!

The Mitcho Early Childhood Center
& The Mitcho Family Wing

The Mitcho family name has long been synonymous with education in Glassboro. The Glassboro Board of Education unanimously passed two resolutions: One to name the district’s future early childhood development center at Rowan “The Mitcho Early Childhood Center” and second to name the J. Harvey Rodgers School current and soon-to-be extended preschool wing the “The Mitcho Family Wing.”

“The Mitcho Early Childhood Center” will open this fall and will benefit Glassboro families by immediately expanding Glassboro’s preschool program by two classrooms.

Thanks to community approval of a districtwide referendum last November, future construction at J. Harvey Rodgers School will feature an expansion of “The Mitcho Family Wing” to include nine additional classrooms.

Read more about the Mitcho family's lasting and meaningful contributions to the district in The Mitcho Early Childhood Center resolution or The Mitcho Family Wing resolution.
