As of 2007, the school serves about 1,900 students from six municipalities in northern Hunterdon County as one of two high schools in the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District.

The school opened in September of 1951 and has undergone several additions over the course of time. Clifford G. Singley was the school's first principal and the football field currently bears his name. Its teams are called the Lions or Lady Lions and its mascot's name is Reggie, in recognition of the early days, when the school was known as Regional.
