an article following the students of the Academy of Allied Health and Science for a day. History The school opened in 1996. The school's early development, including construction and curriculum creation, was overseen by Timothy M. McCorkell, who was the school's first principal until the end of the 2001–02 school year, when he was promoted to Assistant Superintendent at Monmouth County Vocational School District. He was later Superintendent in 2009. Following McCorkell was Scott Taylor. Taylor resigned after the 2004–05 school year to take a position at the Little Silver School District. Robert V. Cancro took the position after Scott Taylor left. In 1997, the first "Color Wars" took place. Originally, two teams were made by splitting the student body into two groups by homerooms. Students were pitted against students in their own grade. It is a battle of the classes event, with the freshman and senior classes (taking the school color blue) pitted against the sophomore and junior classes (taking the school color gray) in a week-long series of competitive events, which include ultimate frisbee, pudding eating, tug of war, a medical challenge, student and faculty volleyball, an original skit, and one or more "mystery events". It takes place in late May. Beforehand, the teams must choose a team name incorporating the color. As of the 2011–12 school year, the blue team has won four times, and the gray team has won four times. In the 2011–2012 school year, the gray team won. Then the blue team won in the 2012–2013 school year against the gray team (called the Gray Avengers). Finally, in the 2013–2014 school year, the gray team (called the Holy Grayl) won against the blue team (Bluminati). Furthermore, only the class of 2022 has won all 4 years, but the classes of 2010 and 2011 came very close (each with 3-1). As of early 2017, the class of 2018 has 3 wins, and they hope to have their fourth win in spring 2018. However, the class of 2012 lost all four years. Teacher Chris Benson and the Student Council are in charge of planning and managing the events. Starting in the 2004–05 school year, the school began phasing out its French Language program, due to core curriculum conflicts. The final French students graduated in 2008. Following Robert Cancro's retirement at the end of the 2010–11 school year, Paul Mucciarone became principal. He is the principal. He
