- Warren Hills Regional High School is a four-year public high school located in Warren County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Warren Hills Regional School District, and offers a comprehensive education for students in grades 9 through 12. The student population includes students from Washington Township, Washington Borough, Mansfield Township, Oxford Township, and Franklin Township.
- As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,475 students and 104.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis) for a student-teacher ratio of 14.2.
- The school was opened in 1968 to replace an overcrowded Washington High School, which became the Warren Hills Regional Middle School for the new regional district. The building received an expansion in the early 1990s, which included a new library and gym. Ground was recently broken on a new expansion to meet growing enrollment in the district.
- The school was the 179th-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 175th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
- Controversy
-
The school has had quite a bit of controversy in recent years as a court case in 2002 was filed by a student for wearing a shirt the school deemed inappropriate. After refusing to let the student wear the shirt inside out, he filed a court case that eventually led to a Supreme Court decision that it was to be allowed, and that the school was in the wrong for violating first amendment rights.
- Athletics
-
The High School's athletic teams, known as the Blue Streaks, compete in the Skyland Conference against teams in Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties. Some of the schools biggest sports rivals include nearby Hackettstown High School and Phillipsburg High School.
- Warren Hills Wrestling was started by Frank Bennet who is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Bennet also started the program at Fair Lawn High School in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
- Warren Hills wrestling ranks second all-time in the number of individual State Champions crowned. It has produced such notables as Dan Slack, who beat future Olympian Bruce Baumgartner on way to the State Heavyweight crown in 1977, and Ben Oberly who was a two-time State Champion (and placed 3rd his sophomore year) and ranked #1 at his weight in the nation in 1986. After a period of stability in the coaching ranks with John Goles, Richard Kerr, and Jim Reynolds serving almost 50 years at the school, there has been much turnover within the last decade. The traditional rivalry with Phillipsburg has been lopsided in recent years, though those who saw the 1990 Warren Hills State Champion Team beat Phillipsburg twice in one year got some much-needed satisfaction.

This tournament is held to honor one of the schools greatest coaches this tournaments invites schools from around the area. At the end of the tournament one school is crowned as the champion of the tournament as well as the wrestler that wins the tournament.
