The current Hoboken High School was built in the mid-1960s. Prior to that time, A. J. Demarest High School, dedicated in the autumn of 1911, served as the city's high school. When the current high school was built, Demarest became a junior High School (grades 8-9), and it is currently a Vocational High School in the district. The first principal of Hoboken HS was Tom Gaynor - Boys were required to wear button down shirts with ties and a jacket or sweater - long hair was frowned on by Mr. Gaynor.

- IB program
-
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is a comprehensive and rigorous two-year curriculum, leading to examinations, for students in grades eleven and twelve. The general objectives of the IB are to provide students with a balanced education; to facilitate geographic and cultural mobility; and to promote international understanding through a shared academic experience. In the 30 years since its founding, the IB diploma has become a symbol of academic integrity and intellectual promise. The student who satisfies its demands demonstrates a strong commitment to learning, both in terms of the mastery of the subject content and in the development of the skills and discipline necessary for success in a competitive world.
- IB courses are college preparatory courses within high schools complete with the expectations of increased reading and oral and written reports. The final exams are evaluated by a panel of professors from around the world who are experts in their respective fields. Courses involve an internal assessment factor requiring teachers to submit essays and student tapes for grading to external examiners.
