Voorhees High School is a four-year public high school located in Lebanon Township, named for Foster McGowan Voorhees, the 30th governor of New Jersey. It is one of two high schools in the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from seven municipalities in northern Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1977.[5]
Students come from the constituent municipalities of Califon, Hampton, High Bridge, Lebanon Township and Tewksbury Township.[6] Clinton Town and Glen Gardner residents can select either North Hunterdon or Voorhees High.[7]
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 672 students and 72.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.3:1. There were 26 students (3.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 10 (1.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]
History
[edit]Voorhees High School, constructed at a cost of $7.5 million (equivalent to $42.5 million in 2023), opened for the 1975-76 school year, helping end overcrowding that necessitated split sessions at North Hunterdon High School.[8][9] Students in the following areas, except for incoming 12th graders (seniors), were reassigned to Vorhees High: Lebanon Township, Califon, High Bridge, and Tewksbury Township.[10]
The 40-acre (16 ha) lot reserved for Voorhees High School was unusually long and narrow, which posed an engineering and design challenge. To solve this, Breslin Ridyard Fadero Architects designed the 280,000 square feet (26,000 m2) school building to be nearly 700 feet (210 m) in length and three stories tall.[11]
In 1980, a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) addition was built, adding a second gymnasium and cafeteria, technology laboratories, and additional classrooms to all three floors.[12]
Throughout the 2021-22 school year, the North Hunterdon-Voorhees High School District undertook a large solar power installation project, which was completed in November 2022. Voorhees High School's photovoltaic system totals 655.2 kilowatts.[13][14]
Glen Gardner students were zoned only to Voorhees High until 2014[15] after which Clinton and Glen Gardner residents were given the option to select which high school they wished to attend.[16]
Awards, recognition and rankings
[edit]In 2015, Voorhees High School was one of 15 schools in New Jersey, and one of nine public schools, recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School in the exemplary high performing category by the United States Department of Education.[17][18]

In the 2011 "Ranking America's High Schools" issue by The Washington Post, the school was ranked 24th in New Jersey and 830th nationwide.[20] In Newsweek's May 22, 2007, issue, ranking the country's top high schools, Voorhees High School was listed in 1118th place, the 36th-highest ranked school in New Jersey.[21]
The school was the 43rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[22] The school had been ranked 48th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 59th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[23] The magazine ranked the school 41st in 2008 out of 316 schools.[24] The school was ranked 30th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[25]
Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 83rd out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 40 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (88.1%) and language arts literacy (97.0%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[26]
The school was the Consumer Bowl 2006 and 2007 state champion, a program that evaluates the skills of students as informed consumers.[27]
The architects of Voorhees High School, Breslin Ridyard Fadero Architects, achieved a design award, "Outstanding Planning and Design", from the New Jersey Department of Education.[28] Additionally, in the Annual State School of the Year awards program, Voorhees High School was judged best high school because of "The simplified form of the building, restrained use of materials and color, precision detailing, the play of sun and shadow and the wonderful site and setting."[29]

HS football".[48]
