- Paulsboro High School is a comprehensive community six-year public high school that serves students in seventh through twelfth grade from Paulsboro, in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Paulsboro Public Schools.
- Students in grades 9-12 from Greenwich Township attend Paulsboro High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Greenwich Township School District.
- As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 696 students and 55.0 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 12.7.
- The school was the 277th-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 264th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.

Paulsboro High School is a member school in the Colonial Conference, which is composed of small schools whose enrollments generally do not exceed between 750-800 students for grades 9-12.
- Wrestling dynasty
-
Paulsboro High School's wrestling team accomplished an unheard of streak of 307 consecutive victories against Colonial Conference opponents. The streak started in 1971 when Haddon Township High School had handed them their last conference loss. It would be nearly four decades until the Collingswood High School Panthers were responsible for halting the streak on January 16, 2008, with a 28-22 decision over the Red Raiders. Paulsboro had won 25 consecutive state championships in Group I until 2008 when they lost early in the state tournament. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, that streak was the longest in the entire nation at the time, and only three other teams have won more state championships overall than Paulsboro. Through the 2006 season, the wrestling team had a 425-18 record under coach Paul Morina.
- 'The Streak'
-
Paulsboro High School owns the New Jersey state record for consecutive football victories with 63. The streak started in 1992 and continued until September 26, 1998, when they finally lost to long time rival Woodbury High School by a score of 14-13. Paulsboro had a chance to win the game on a 32-yard field goal with four seconds remaining, but missed the kick just inches wide. The 63 consecutive wins is still the state record, surpassing the next closest streak by 20 games.
- Controversy
-
Principal Lucia Pollino was suspended after an incident in which three students were allegedly strip searched while on a Senior trip to Disney World in April 2007. A lawsuit has been filed by an attorney representing one of the students asking for $250,000 in damages related to the incident.Pollino sued the board claiming she was a victim of gender discrimination. She denied authorizing a strip search and said two male teachers who carried out the search were not disciplined. School Superintendent Frank Scambia said Pollino will be reassigned to become director of assessments, receiving the same salary she did as principal.
