Education

St. Mary Academy near Manahawkin, a K-8 school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton, is in the area. From 1997,[8] until 2019 it operated as All Saints Regional Catholic School and was collectively managed by five churches,[9] with one being St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Whiting.[8] In 2019 St. Mary Church in Barnegat took over control of the school, which remained on the same Manahawkin campus, and changed its name. The other churches no longer operate the school but still may send students there.[9]
