History

The building has a colonial revival exterior, a product of the New Deal Era. The building was constructed in 1932 and was opened to students in September 1933.[6]

Students from Wayne, New Jersey had attended the school until 1952, when Wayne Valley High School was opened.[8]

During the 1986-87 school year, Pompton Lakes High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education,[9] the highest award an American school can receive.[10][11]
