"The $1,750,000 Kingsway Regional Junior-Senior High School will open Sept. 5 with an expected enrollment of 670 pupils, Robert S. Costill, superintendent, said. With a tradition and history passed on from the 40-year-old Swedesboro High School, which it replaces, Kingsway will start operations with sophomore, junior and senior classes inherited from Swedesboro High School. Children from Swedesboro, Woolwich, East Greenwich, South Harrison and Logan Townships will attend the new facility during the 1963-64 term, Costill said."
  16. ^ History, Kingsway Regional School District. Accessed April 13, 2021. "Kingsway opened its doors for the first time on September 5, 1963… When our first Superintendent – Bob Costill – welcomed 675 7th – 12th grade students and 34 teachers to the new Kingsway.... Over the course of the 1963-64 school year members of the senior body, initially angry to have been pulled away from their beloved Swedesboro and Woodstown High Schools, began to embrace the new Kingsway and would become the first 89 seniors to walk across this auditorium stage (what is now Eitel Theater) to receive their high school diploma that following June."
