Public Safety Academy at Atlantic City High School Announced 2025 Expansion

The Public Safety Academy at Atlantic City High School was announced to expand in 2025, creating even more career-focused opportunities for students interested in public service fields. This initiative continued the school's commitment to preparing students for real-world careers through hands-on learning and mentorship.

Originally launched in 2019, the academy had been temporarily paused due to the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the interruption, the program remained a vital part of the school’s vision for student success and community involvement.

The academy gave students direct access to experienced professionals from the Atlantic City Fire Department, Police Department, Beach Patrol, and Emergency Medical Services. These partnerships allowed students to gain valuable insight into the demands and rewards of careers in public safety.

The upcoming expansion was expected to broaden the curriculum and bring in additional resources, ensuring that students receive the most relevant training and exposure to various emergency response fields. With the relaunch, more students would have the chance to explore career pathways in service roles that directly impact their communities.

This announcement reaffirmed Atlantic City High School’s role in shaping future leaders and responders through education, access, and opportunity.
