Strategic Plan

. . . are not just words on our strategic plan. This district theme represents our commitment as a district and community to a unified process for the education of children and the shared planning process which we seek for the future of our schools.

Rooted in community and led by the Pillars of Character, the Tinton Falls School District will prepare our students academically, socially, and emotionally to become productive contributors to society. In a safe and positive environment, children of every ability will be provided with innovative learning experiences to reach and expand their greatest potential. We celebrate diversity while promoting equity and inclusion so that every child feels valued, supported, and represented.

• We believe that an inclusive educational community is a partnership among the student, family, school and community.

• We believe the educational partnership must develop children who are: strong in character, confident, self-directed, socially skilled, life-long learners, civic minded, and creative thinkers.

• We believe the educational partnership collectively contributes to a sense of: responsibility, respect, integrity, trust, tolerance, flexibility.

• We believe that high expectations promote academic and social-emotional success for all students.

• We believe that children have a right to a safe, supportive, caring and progressive educational environment.

• We believe the educational partnership will include measurable standards, shared accountability, and will draw upon its resources to achieve mutual goals.

• We believe in celebrating our diversity and promoting equity and inclusion for all students.

Tinton Falls is a large suburban community located in Eastern Monmouth County.  The Borough, 15.6 square miles in size, is unique in shape, measuring approximately 9 miles in length and 1 ¾ miles in width.  Due to its unusual shape and length, the Borough is bordered by nine other municipalities.  Tinton Falls contains scattered residential neighborhoods and commercial development as well as several large public land uses, including Naval Weapons Station Earle, Fort Monmouth, and the Monmouth County Reclamation Center.  Several watercourses pass through the Borough including Lafretras Brook and Jumping Brook, and several other waterways (Swimming River, Shark River and Pine Brook) form portions of the Borough’s border along its Southern and Western sides.  The Garden State Parkway traverses the Borough in a North-South direction and Route 18, which runs East-West, bisects the Borough.

Tinton Falls was originally part of nearby Shrewsbury. In 1950, it broke away as New Shrewsbury. Finally, in 1975, the town assumed its current identity of Tinton Falls. The town is named after Tinton Manor, the 17th-century estate of local landowner Lewis Morris. Morris played an important part in the formation of the United States of America as one of the signatures on the United States Declaration of Independence and as a delegate to the Continental Congress.

Tinton Falls Historic District pays tribute to the town's history. There are 21 recognized points of historic or archaeological interest, including nine historical homes. There is also the site of an early iron works, which was the town's primary industry in its early days. Visitors can tour the site of an applejack distillery and a 17th-century blacksmith shop.

One of the main attractions of the town is its namesake waterfall. Tinton Falls tumbles 19 feet (5.8 meters) into the Pine Brook River. It is known as the highest natural waterfall in New Jersey's coastal plains. Take a walk along paths around the falls or pack a picnic to enjoy alongside the waterfall.
