The strength of Verona’s public schools is what draws many families to buy houses here. Verona High School sent 152 students off into the world last night at the graduation for the class of 2017, to attend universities like Duke, Princeton, Rutgers, Montclair State, Penn State and Delaware, among others. If you’re not yet familiar with the district, take a look at its website, particularly the latest goals for the public school system.
