Patch’s Cherry Hill AM roundup reports that Cherry Hill Superintendent Kwame Morton was among the highest-paid school superintendents in New Jersey in the 2024-25 school year, according to state salary data. Morton’s salary was listed at $322,840, placing him No. 16 statewide and making him the highest-paid superintendent in Camden County.
The article says New Jersey’s top-paid superintendent for 2024-25 was North Bergen’s George Solter, whose salary was $393,000. In South Jersey, the highest-paid superintendent was Evesham Township’s Justin Smith, who ranked No. 10 statewide with a salary of $335,000.
Patch notes that superintendent pay can vary based on factors such as district size, experience, and contract terms. Cherry Hill is one of the larger districts in the region, which helps explain why its superintendent’s compensation ranks near the top in Camden County and among the highest in the state.
The roundup also highlights other local news and items of interest for Cherry Hill readers as part of its morning briefing format. The superintendent salary figures were drawn from state-level reporting on public school administrator compensation.
