Morristown High School (or MHS) is a four-year public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from three communities in Morris County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Morris School District. The school serves students from Morristown and Morris Township, along with students from Morris Plains, who attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Morris Plains Schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1952.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,678 students and 124.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.5:1. There were 353 students (21.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 101 (6.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Morristown High School was opened on December 13, 1869 on Maple Avenue, four years after Morristown had seceded from Morris Township. It accepted students from both the town and the township. The first graduates were the class of 1874, consisting of eight students, five girls and three boys.
Morristown High School played its first football game on September 28, 1901, against Port Oram (now Wharton) high school.
