[edit] Athletics
Willingboro High School competes in the Liberty Division of the Burlington County Scholastic League (BCSL), sports association under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). The league consists of nineteen public and parochial high schools covering Burlington County, Mercer County and Ocean County in central New Jersey. The high school was opened in 1975 as a response to the overcrowded student population at the then only high school in Willingboro - John F. Kennedy - located just down the road on Kennedy Way. For a short time, residents were having a difficult time in deciding what to call the new Willingboro high school; some sought to name the new high school "J.F. Kennedy High School - East" while others debated on naming the school, "Robert F. Kennedy" after the late Attorney General and senator from Massachusetts and President Kennedy's brother. A vote was taken and it was decided that the only appropriate name would be what the school is called today, "Willingboro Township High School." The school colors are navy blue, scarlet and white - which are the slight opposite of the school's former sister school, J.F.K. (which were scarlet, navy and white). The mascot is the "Chimera", a mythological monster with the head of a lion and body and wings of an eagle, opposite of the former sister school, which was a "Gryphon."
