South Brunswick High School (SBHS) is a comprehensive community public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades at the school located in the Monmouth Junction section of South Brunswick Township, in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the South Brunswick Public Schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1965.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,921 students and 194.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.0:1. There were 205 students (7.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 110 (3.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The South Brunswick High School was first established in 1960 (now Crossroads South Middle School) at the corner of Major Road and Kingston Lane and celebrated its "50th birthday" in 2010. The current building/location was built in 1997 at the corner of Stouts Lane and Ridge Road due to overcrowding issues and the "annex" which is connected by a two-level indoor bridge on levels 2 and 3 was all built in 2003-04, on the side of Stouts Lane.
For the 1990-91 school year, South Brunswick High School received the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award from the United States Department of Education, the highest honor that an American school can achieve.
