Colts Neck Airport
Colts Neck Airport

Colts Neck Airport (FAA LID: N61) was a small general-aviation airport in Colts Neck Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. It was located just south of the village of Colts Neck at latitude 40.278° N, longitude 74.182° W (near the Route 537/Route 34 intersection). The airport featured turf (grass) runways and served local private and recreational flying (flight training, glider operations, banner towing, etc.) until its closure. At its peak in the 1970s–80s, dozens of light aircraft and sailplanes were based there. The field had minimal facilities: several small hangars (including T‑hangars and a wood-framed main hangar) and an unpaved taxiway. By contrast with larger airports, it had no paved runways, control tower, or advanced services; pilots used a common Unicom frequency and mostly did their own fueling and maintenance. Today, the site of the airport is home to Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck and a neighborhood of McMansions. Established in 1938, Colts Neck Airport first appeared on sectional charts shortly after World War II with a roughly 2,400 ft unpaved runway. Through the 1950s and 1960s it remained a modest grass field, featuring two sod runways arranged in a cross pattern. Activity grew in the 1960s: by 1963 the field accommodated a dozen light aircraft, and by 1970 it hosted over twenty airplanes along with a thriving glider‑towing operation. Under manager Paul Wille in the 1970s and early 1980s, fixed‑base operators Sky Advertising and Wilco Aviation provided flight instruction, banner‑towing, and fueling services. Suburban development pressures ultimately led to its sale to a private developer and formal closure in 2002. Within a decade, all airport structures were removed and the land was rezoned for residential use.

Biotechnology High School

Biotechnology High School (BTHS), or commonly referred to as Biotech, is a four-year comprehensive vocational public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in Freehold Township, Monmouth County, United States, as part of the Monmouth County Vocational School District (MCVSD). Its curriculum includes a science program, consisting of eight different science classes spread over four years, designed to prepare students to pursue further education in biotechnology and the natural sciences. Emphasis is placed on research, laboratory skills, critical thinking, problem solving, technology, and teamwork. Over 90% of the 2009 graduates selected college majors in the life sciences. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 2005.Since the graduation of its first class in 2009, it has consistently been ranked one of the best high schools on the East Coast and in the United States by national media outlets. According to the national high school rankings report published annually by U.S. News & World Report, the school was ranked sixth in New Jersey, and 85th in the nation, in 2020. As of April 2007, it became an official International Baccalaureate Organization school, offering the IB Diploma Programme to all students. BTHS is the only high school in New Jersey in which 100% of students are IB Diploma Candidates. Most of the courses taken in the junior and senior years are IB courses, which are comparable to Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Courses taken during freshman and sophomore years prepare students for IB. At the beginning of their junior year, students declare either an IB Chemistry or IB Physics concentration, which requires two full years of study accumulated in an exam session. Depending on the course and plan of study, IB exams for other courses are administered in the spring of their junior or senior year. Students also complete a full-time senior mentorship under an employer of their choice during their last month before graduation. As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 315 students and 26.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1. There were 1 students (0.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 2 (0.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. The average graduating class size is around 70-80 students.
