Background

The "Freshman Building."

Founded in the late 1800s, MHS quickly outgrew its original location (torn down in the 1930s) on Orange Road, near the site of Hillside School, and just before World War I. The current "Main Building" was then opened, and it is one of the older public high schools in New Jersey. It was initially only comprised of the "main building," as it is colloquially referred to, but as time went on and the enrollment grew, the board of education allowed the high school to annex George Inness Junior High School school across the street, which is aptly called "the annex" or the "Freshman Building", where many of the ninth grade classes take place. Montclair High School holds the rather obscure distinction of being the only school in the United States to have an outdoor amphitheater with a brook flowing through it. When the weather cooperates in late June, this is where the graduation ceremonies are held. Otherwise, it is a favorite lunchtime spot for students, even though students have the option of leaving school grounds for lunch.

Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 533 pixel Image in higher resolution (2496 × 1664 pixel, file size: 3. ... “The Great War ” redirects here. ... The name amphitheatre (alternatively amphitheater) is given to a public building of the Classical period (being particularly associated with ancient Rome) which was used for spectator sports, games and displays. ...


MHS prides itself on the diversity of the school and students are given a relatively liberal education compared to many other public schools in the United States. Largely due to the significant influx of young, wealth New York City professionals in the early 1980s, Montclair itself has a unique liberal atmosphere and retains progressive values in its public education. Graduates of Montclair High School are often placed in some of the country's most prestigious universities. Representation of a university class, 1350s. ...
