Morristown High School (MHS) is a four-year public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from three communities in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Morris School District. The school serves students from Morristown and Morris Township, along with students from Morris Plains, who attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Morris Plains Schools.[4][5] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1952.[6][7]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,868 students and 139.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.4:1. There were 379 students (20.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 94 (5.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

MHS receives students from Frelinghuysen Middle School, Morris Plains Borough School, and several public and private middle schools.

History[edit]

Morristown High School was opened on December 13, 1869 on Maple Avenue, four years after Morristown had seceded from Morris Township. It accepted students from both the town and the township. The first graduates were the class of 1874, consisting of eight students, five girls and three boys.

Morristown High School played its first football game on September 28, 1901, against Port Oram (now Wharton) high school.

The cornerstone of the current MHS building was laid on September 9, 1916. Classes at the current building began on September 4, 1918.

In May 1974, the Harding Township School District was given permission by the State Commissioner of Education to end their sending / receiving relationship with the Morris School District and begin sending their students to Madison High School starting with the 1975–76 school year, ruling that the withdrawal of the mostly white students from Harding Township would not "cause a disproportionate change in the racial composition of Morristown High School".[8][9]

On May 4, 1974, Morristown High School had "racial violence" between Black and white students, which started at a carnival on Madison Street and erupted again in subsequent days, resulting in several injuries to students. The school was closed while efforts were made to address tensions.[9][10]

In 2005, Linda D. Murphy, an assistant principal at Morristown High School, was promoted to principal of Morristown High School, becoming the first Morristown High School graduate (Class of 1972) to fill the position.

In 2009, year-round rotating block schedule replaced the semester-based block scheduling.

In 2013, A/B block scheduling replaced the year-round rotating block schedule.

In 2018, Homeroom was abolished in exchange for a later starting time.

On March 14, 2018, students walked out to protest gun violence after one month of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Awards, recognition and rankings[edit]

The school was the 116th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[11] The school had been ranked 75th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 66th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[12] The magazine ranked the school 78th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[13]

In the 2011 "Ranking America's High Schools" issue by The Washington Post, the school was ranked 69th in New Jersey and 2,029th nationwide.[14]

Academics[edit]

Morristown High School provides 285 courses (including Honors and AP) to its students. Out of the 285 courses, 28 are offered as AP courses and range from AP Calculus BC to AP Music Theory. College Prep level courses are also offered to students as a step down from Honors level courses. AP tests along with SAT and ACT exams are conducted onsite.[15] Students have access to extracurricular activities in the form of programs like Marching Band, Jazz Ensemble, or Theatre; student clubs like Girls Who Code, Future Teachers, or Habitat for Humanity; honor societies.

Morristown High School also offers "STEM Academy," an enrichment program for students in grades 9-12. STEM Academy offers pathways in Biomedicine, Engineering, Architecture, Environmental Sustainability, Research Science, Computer Science, Mathematics and General STEM.[16]
