History
Proposals for a junior-senior high school in the borough date back to 1935, with a referendum for a $460,000 project (equivalent to $ in ) that would be covered in part through savings in the tuition being paid for students to attend Ridgewood High School.
By 1947, the district was expending a quarter of its budget on payments for high school tuition, but the district was notified by the Ridgewood Public Schools in March 1952 that Glen Rock students, who had attended high school for grades 10-12 in Ridgewood from the time the borough was established, could not be accommodated any longer after the 1954-55 school year. The school opened in September 1956 with only tenth graders, as ninth-grade students were in the junior high school and those in eleventh and twelfth grades completed their education through graduation at Ridgewood High School.
