History
Until 1960, students from South Brunswick attended Jamesburg High School, a relationship that was ended after the Jamesburg Public Schools announced that students from South Brunswick would not be admitted after 1959. A new school building was designed to accommodate an eventual enrollment of 1,000 and be constructed with the proceeds of a $1.8 million bond issue (equivalent to $ million in ).
The first South Brunswick High School, located at the corner of Major Road and Kingston Lane, was dedicated in October 1960 with a crowd of 800 in attendance.
