The New Jersey High School Redesign Steering Committee is a coalition of the state’s major education organizations working to build public awareness of and support for a more rigorous high school experience. To work toward the goal of making sure that our state’s students are prepared to succeed in the workforce or in pursuing higher education, the Steering Committee is beginning a statewide conversation on high school reform in our state.

The Steering Committee grew out of the New Jersey Education Summit on High Schools convened in 2005 and supports the work begun at the National Education Summit on High Schools held in Washington, DC in February of that year.

The Steering Committee is co-chaired by New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine, Prudential Financial Chairman and CEO Arthur F. Ryan, and Montclair State University President Susan A. Cole and is composed of the leadership of New Jersey’s major education organizations.
