A history lesson

In the beginning there was only one high school in Bridgewater, New Jersey and it was known simply as Bridgewater - Raritan High School, their mascot was a Golden Falcon. In the mid - 1960 ’ s with a burgeoning population in the township came the need for a second high school and Bridgewater - Raritan High School East was opened, their mascot was the Minuteman. The original high school was renamed Bridgewater - Raritan High School West and retained the Golden Falcon mascot and one of the best rivalries in high school sport was born. In the early 1990’ s amid declining population and enrollment the two schools were combined on the West campus to be renamed Bridgewater - Raritan High School again with a new mascot, the Panthers. The Panthers have achieved much suc- cess in conference, county and state competitions. But it can be argued that the success wasn ’ t created by merging two high schools, but rather by the founda- tion laid by those who came before. Regardless of whether you were/are a Golden Falcon, a Minuteman or a Panther . . . WE ARE B-R!
