- Monroe Township High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Monroe Township, in Middlesex County, New Jersey. It is part of the Monroe Township School District. The school serves students from Monroe Township and those from Jamesburg Borough who attend Monroe Township High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Jamesburg Public Schools. The school's mascot is a falcon, the school colors are purple and gold, and the motto is "Excellence is Our Expectation". The school was built in the 1970s, The Marasco Center for the Performing Arts was added in the 1990s, and more classrooms were added in the early 2000s. Because of Monroe Township's increasing population, a new high school is being built and is expected to be finished in time for the 2011-2012 school year, despite discovery of an old farmstead on the site. The present-day high school will become the township's middle school, and Applegarth Middle School will become another elementary school. The school is now enforcing a stricter security policy with the addition of school IDs that are being regularly checked and cameras outside the school.
- As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,471 students and 137 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.7.
- The school was the 113th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 106th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
- Athletics
-
The Monroe Township High School Falcons compete in the Greater Middlesex Conference, which comprises 33 public and private high schools located in the greater Middlesex County area. The league operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. The school has fall, winter, and spring sports. They are most known for football,boy's tennis, wrestling, track, boy's and girl's soccer, their marching band, ad more recently boys and girls lacrosse. The team's colors are purple and gold.
- Administration
-
Core members of the school's administration are:
- Principal: Robert Goodall
- Assistant Principals: James Griffin, Anthony Jozefowicz and Scott Madreperla
- Extracurricular Activities
-
Extracurricular activities provide an excellent medium for MTHS students to explore their interests, learn, and help the community. Most "clubs" meet after school when additional buses are available for after school transportation. Some clubs meet at night, in which cases the students are responsible for their own transportation.
- Note: Some information may be inaccurate due to clubs forming or dissipating late in the year and sparse updates for the website.
- Relocation
-
In recent years, the population of Monroe Township has grown, leading to a proposal for relocation of the high school onto the soccer fields of Thompson Park, across the road from the current high school. Opponents of the site of the proposed high school claim that historical records show that the new location is the 18th century site of Bethel Indian Town. An archaeological study found mostly European artifacts on 3 or 4 of the of the proposed site, with only about eight or so Native American artifacts among them.. The new Monroe Township High School is currently under construction on the Thompson Park property. It is scheduled to open in September of 2011.
