- Phillipsburg High School is a comprehensive, four-year public high school located in Phillipsburg, in Warren County, New Jersey, United States. This school is located in the eastern part of the Lehigh Valley, at the Pennsylvania border. For this reason, the school's nickname is the "Stateliners."
- The school is part of the Phillipsburg School District, an Abbott District that serves students from the town of Phillipsburg and from five area communities: Alpha, Bloomsbury (in Hunterdon County), Greenwich Township, Lopatcong Township and Pohatcong Township, who attend as part of sending/receiving relationships.
- As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,735 students and 127 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 13.7.

- Student population
-

A plan for a new high school has been in the works for some time, but the current proposal has stalled due to lack of funds. Local parents have organized efforts to advocate on behalf of a new high school building.

The rivalry, as always, was played on Lafayette College's Fisher Field in Easton. The 100th meeting between the two schools, which Easton won 21-7, was broadcast nationally on ESPN2 on Thanksgiving Day 2006.

In 2008 the stateliners completed a 10-2 season beating Rahway high school 20-6 in the group 3 section 2 New Jersey football championship. 2008 postseason rankings put the stateliners at 13 in the state,1 in west jersey,5 in group 3 and 10 in the express-times.
