Mahwah High School

Mahwah High School (MHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students from Mahwah in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the only secondary school of the Mahwah Township Public Schools. The school is accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education and has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1962. As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 874 students and 94.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.3:1. There were 49 students (5.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 13 (1.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. History Through the 1957-58 school year, students from Mahwah joined those from Allendale, Saddle River and Upper Saddle River who attended Ramsey High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective districts and the Ramsey Public School District. Allendale and Mahwah left the Ramsey district in September 1958 once Mahwah High School was opened. With construction delayed due to labor actions, Mahwah High School started the year with afternoon classes housed in space rented at Ramsey High School. Completed at a cost of $3.6 million (equivalent to $ million in ), the high school facility opened for students in February 1959. Allendale and Upper Saddle River switched to Northern Highlands Regional High School when it opened in 1965.
