Montgomery Lower Middle School, NJ, hosted a joyous, and at times tearful, naturalization ceremony on March 25, welcoming 26 new citizens to the United States. Students, led by the LMS fifth-grade band and chorus, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," Irving Berlin's “God Bless America," and “Land of Dreams.”

This summer, the last of the long-planned loop roads designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow at the Routes 206/518 intersection will open to traffic.

Each month, Montgomery High School Athletic Director Kris Grundy polls local coaches to select a female and male scholar athlete to spotlight on this page. In addition to a feature article, each athlete receives gift certificates to The Tiger’s Tale and Beniamino's Cucina and Pizza. Emma Reyes-Cano and Obinna Obuba are The Montgomery News March Athletes of the Month.

There have been some drastic changes to Obinna Obuba’s life since his last athlete of the month nomination in May 2025. The Montgomery senior spent his fall hauling in 21 catches for 534 yards and six touchdowns on the gridiron, helping the Cougars to a Section Two, Group Four championship appearance against Phillipsburg. However, his best work still comes on the track, where he owns the school record in the 55m hurdles, and lowered it in dramatic fashion.

For years, girls’ wrestling was an afterthought. There was little to no participation, lacking resources, and not enough girls like Emma Reyes-Cano leading the charge. The Montgomery freshman is off to a wonderful career, ripping off her last 11 matches to boost her record to 17-6.

Detectives from Montgomery Police Department gave a presentation on drugs and internet safety to the freshman class at Montgomery High School. Montgomery Police also deal with multiple DWI's this March.
