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. Students are served from both Carlstadt (205 students from a 2000 Census population of 5,917) and East Rutherford (346 students from 8,716 residents). 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.
