Seton Hall Prep is New Jersey’s oldest Catholic college preparatory school. The Prep's tradition is matched by its commitment to the education of young men by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively and become contributing members of society.
At Seton Hall Prep, students participate in many of the amazing offerings available to them outside of the classroom. This includes 15 sports, more than 70 activities and clubs, a variety of intramurals and a seemingly endless number of service projects.

J. Stout and Lucas Shecky, Prep faculty members in attendance were Rob Barling, Larry Kupferman, Vinny McMahon, Fr. Bogumil Misiuk, Sharon Rondinella and Kairos Director Billy Ward. They were joined on Thursday by Prep Counselor Mark Vitale. Fr. John Brandi and Prep Chaplain Fr. James White attended to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation. [view the photos]
