Henry P. Becton Regional High School, "Becton," is an American four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from two relatively small communities in Bergen County, New Jersey, as part of the Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional School District.
The school was named in honor of Henry P. Becton, son of Becton Dickinson co-founder Maxwell Becton, who donated part of the company's original East Rutherford property to be used as a site for the construction of the school.
Location: The school is located on Paterson Avenue, near the border of Carlstadt, and near Route 17.
Curriculum: A variety of subjects is offered to prepare those students who plan to continue their education beyond high school and for those students who may seek employment directly upon completing high school. Through curricular offerings, extra curricular activities including a full athletic program for boys and girls, counseling, and special education services, the district aims to assist each pupil in achieving his/her goals, developing character and recognizing responsibility. Becton Regional High School offers a college preparatory program which includes several Advanced Placement Program (AP) classes, and career-oriented curriculum areas.
In order to graduate, the state of New Jersey requires that students pass the eleventh grade New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA). Furthermore, Becton requires that students earn a minimum of 140 academic credits during their four years of high school to graduate.
Extracurricular activities: The school mascot is the Wildcat, and the school's colors are maroon and white. The school's newspaper is the weekly Cat's Eye View, and the yearbook is the Tealeaf. The school also publishes Images of Drew, an annual art and literary magazine. The school participates in the BCSL National athletic conference.
Its most recent school musical was Guys and Dolls which ran from March 9th, 10th, and 11th of 2007.
