"The Pennsauken campus is about the size of a typical, urban high school, occupying a space the size of a large city block. It was built in 1928, when most of Camden County's population was centered on the largest city in South Jersey: Camden. Back then, mostly farms existed east of Camden. The Gloucester Township campus was constructed in 1969, when development started to stretch out to the far eastern portion of the county, according to Superintendent of Schools R. Sanders Haldeman."
