A group of alumni recently petitioned the Madison Board of Education, asking it to rename the Madison High School Auditorium “The John H. Bunnell Auditorium” after their beloved music mentor, who served as District Supervisor of Music from 1959 to 1990. Bunnell is a longtime resident of Florham Park.

Their request was unanimously granted. An event committee is planning the dedication ceremony sponsored by the Madison Board of Education, which is set to be held at Madison High School on Sat., May 14, 4 p.m.-7 p.m.

Many of Bunnell’s former students will perform, and a light reception will follow afterward. For more information on attending the event or becoming involved, contact John Gulisano at johngulisano89@gmail.com.
