Emerson High School is a four-year public high school located in Union City, in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Union City Board of Education.
As of the 2008-09 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,342 students and 123.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 10.9.
Through the 2007-08 school year, Emerson High School was one of two high schools to serve Union City, along with Union Hill High School. The last graduating class for both schools was in June 2008.

The switch was originally planned for September 2008, but the school was not completed by then, and pending the completion, Union Hill and Emerson became known as the north and south campuses of Union City High School, respectively. The new school opened September 3, 2009, with Emerson and Union Hill High Schools converting into middle schools.
The school was the 288th-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 265th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
