"Palmyra High School students, their parents and their teachers made it abundantly clear at a public meeting last week that they don't want the Board of Education to shut the high school, the first high school built in Burlington County.... Glenn Gray, superintendent of the Beverly School District, which sends about 80 students to Palmyra High School, said the Beverly board was 'reserving opinion' until a decision was announced.... Since 1967, Beverly students have traveled eight miles - 30 minutes by bus - passing through the Riverside and Delran School Districts, to reach Palmyra High. The reason is that Palmyra was the nearest school that could accept the Beverly students when the Burlington City school district ran out of space for them, Gray said."
