The North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District is a regional, four-year public high school district, that serves students in grades 9-12 from twelve municipalities in northern Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.

Students in the district hail from Bethlehem Township, Califon Borough, Clinton Town, Clinton Township, Franklin Township, Glen Gardner Borough, Hampton Borough, High Bridge Borough, Lebanon Borough, Lebanon Township, Tewksbury Township and Union Township.

The Clinton Township School District has undertaken a project to consider the possibility of withdrawing from the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District to form an independent K-12 school district. In February 2005, the Clinton Township Board of Education commissioned a study to consider the educational and financial effects of a proposed withdrawal scenario for Clinton Township.

As of the 2007-08 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 2,963 students and 238.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.4.[1]
