In July 2016, Pemberton Township Schools received approval for the construction of a new elementary school on the Denbo-Crichton campus to replace two aging elementary schools -- Alexander Denbo Elementary and Aletta Crichton Elementary. The building, located at 2 Learning Way in Browns Mills, was constructed at a cost of approximately $62 million and was completely funded by the Schools Development Authority. This state-of-the-art 126,000 square foot, two-story building features a media center, band room, vocal music room, technology lab, cafeteria, art room, science demonstration room, gymnasium, multi-purpose room and 39 classrooms. The campus also includes a multi-purpose field for physical education purposes and outdoor learning areas for students.

 

Denbo-Crichton Elementary School opened it doors in September 2020, welcoming over 850 students from the former Aletta Crichton Elementary School (K-2), Joseph Stackhouse Elementary School (3-5), and Alexander Denbo Elementary School (3-5).  Denbo-Crichton's mascot, the Wolfpack, was chosen from the former Joseph Stackhouse Elementary School.  This selection united all 3 schools coming into one building.

 

At Denbo-Crichton, we are committed to academic excellence, as well as the well-rounded social development of our students. We take great pride in our many innovative instructional and developmental practices, which enable us to provide educational experiences for our students that are of the highest caliber. We continually focus on the improvement of reading, math, and writing skills, and we infuse technology throughout the curriculum. 

While providing students with an outstanding educational program, every staff member strives to foster positive self-esteem in students. We celebrate our cultural diversity and individual differences, and cultivate a feeling of community and belonging within our school. Our core values - RESPECT, SERVICE, INTEGRITY, PERSEVERANCE & RESPONSIBILITY have been infused in our daily instructional program in order to help our students develop into responsible adults and good citizens.

The generous involvement of parents in the classroom, as well as in the Parent Teacher Organization, continually helps to foster the growth and development of our entire educational program.
