Montclair high school holds classes in two buildings, the Main Building of the high school which is West of Park Street, and the George Inness Annex/ Ninth Grade Academy/ Freshman Building. The road separating the two buildings, Park Street, is a busy street along which two bus routes go. To go to classes, students must cross the road, so traffic is stopped eight times a day for five minutes between periods. Many fences and crosswalk have been installed for the purpose of restricting the students' routes to a 1½ meter path, which is not capable of efficiently handling the flow of traffic. Gym classes are sometimes held at Woodman Field of [[Essex Park, New Jersey|Essex Park]], two blocks away, otherwise in the school's four gymnasiums.

MHS prides itself on the diversity of the school and students are given a relatively liberal education compared to many other public schools in the United States. Largely due to the significant influx of young, wealthy New York City professionals in the early 1980s, Montclair itself has a unique liberal atmosphere and retains progressive values in its public education.

Montclair High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Montclair, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Montclair Public Schools. The school serves residents from all parts of the Township of Montclair.

As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,978 students and 157 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.6.[1]

Grounds

Montclair high school holds classes in two buildings, the Main Building of the high school which is West of Park Street, and the George Inness Annex/ Ninth Grade Academy/ Freshman Building. The road separating the two buildings, Park Street, is a busy street along which two bus routes go. To go to classes, students must cross the road, so traffic is stopped eight times a day for five minutes between periods. Many fences and crosswalk have been installed for the purpose of restricting the students' routes to a 1½ meter path, which is not capable of efficiently handling the flow of traffic. Gym classes are sometimes held at Woodman Field of Essex Park, two blocks away, otherwise in the school's four gymnasiums.

Montclair High School holds the rather obscure distinction of being the only school in the United States to have an outdoor amphitheater through which a brook flows [citation needed]. If the weather cooperates in late June, this is where the graduation ceremonies are held. This Amphitheater is also the site of pep rallies, concerts, and public movie showings. The brook in Toney's Brook, which also goes through Rand Park, also on the campus.

Students at Montclair High school can all leave the campus for lunch and free periods, by an open campus policy. However, due to an incident caused by students of the class of 2012, Freshmen are no longer able to leave Rand park for lunch. Trucks park at the school and vend food to students, students eat in Rand Park, which is partially on the school's campus, and eat at local restaurants and shops.

There is frequently a shortage of parking spaces, as teachers and upperclassmen often drive to school. Students often have to park blocks away from school as there is not closer parking. Sometimes residents who live near the school complain about cars being parked over their driveways.

Awards and recognition

The school was the 85th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 90th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[2]

In Newsweek's May 22, 2007 issue, ranking the country's top high schools, Montclair High School was listed in 896th place, the 24th-highest ranked school in New Jersey.[3] The school was listed in 214th place, the eighth-highest-ranked school in New Jersey, in Newsweek's May 8, 2006, issue, listing the Top 1,200 High Schools in The United States.[4]

In 2001, Montclair High School came in 2nd place in the National High School Mock Trial Championships held in Omaha, Nebraska[5] and was the New Jersey High School Mock Trial Championships in 2006.[6]

Montclair High School's Fed Challenge Team has ranked first in the New York Region eight times, and won the National Fed Challenge Championship in 2001.[7]

In 2005, the Montclair High School FIRST robotics FRC Team 555 won the Arizona Regional in Phoenix, Arizona. They also won second place in the New York City Regional as well as the web design award and the Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship award. The team then went on to win the Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship award at the international championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2007 and 2009, MHS won the Euro Challenge championship. The first place cash prize was $1,500 in 2007 and $1,250 in 2009 for each of the five team members.[8]

In 2007, the Montclair High School FIRST robotics FRC Team 555 won the Denver Regional and the Regional Rockwell Automation Innovation in Control Award in Denver, Colorado.

In 2008, MHS took a close second place in the Euro Challenge championship. Each team member received $1,000. Montclair was the only returning team in the final round.

In 2008, the Montclair High School FIRST robotics FRC Team 555 won the New York City Regional and went to the quarter finals at the Championship Event in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2009, the members of the Model Congress/Model United Nations Club won "Best Delegation" at the University of Pennsylvania Model Congress Conference.

In 2009, seniors of the Civics and Government Institute at Montclair High placed 2nd in the state at the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution competition held in Trenton, NJ.

Athletics

The Montclair High School Mounties compete in the Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League, made up of high schools located in Bergen County, Passaic County and Essex County. The Mounties have an abundance of successful sports programs, including baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and field, crew, fencing, golf, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, tennis, and bowling.

MHS recently expanded and refurnished their "field house" which is located at Woodman Field in Essex Park. It was used for restrooms, locker rooms and a meeting spot for many of the Montclair sports teams, in particular, football. Finished for the 2008/2009 school year, the field house will accommodate a new, state-of-the-art weight lifting gym with glass walls looking over Woodman Field, a screening room for the Montclair Mounties football team, observation rooms also looking over Woodman Field, and much more. This is estimated to cost about $5 million.

Towards the end of every hockey season, the Montclair Mounties host the "Montclair Cup". This competition is highly anticipated by the players and students. Every year, at Clary Anderson Arena (the Mounties home hockey arena), Montclair High School faces off against in town rival, Montclair Kimberley Academy. Most students from both schools attend this event, continuously trash talking the other team and opposing fans. Recently, the rules for the Montclair Cup have gotten more strict because of fights breaking out and wild parties before and after the game.[citation needed]

In October 2008, a Montclair High School football player, Ryne Dougherty, died as a result of a brain hemorrhage in a football game.[citation needed]

Background

The George Innes Annex ("Freshman Building")

Founded in the late 19th century, MHS quickly outgrew its original location (torn down in the 1930s) on Orange Road, the site of which is now the field of Hillside School. The current "Main Building" was then opened, and it is one of the older public high schools in New Jersey. It initially was only the "main building," as it is colloquially referred [citation needed]to, but as time went on and the enrollment grew, the board of education allowed the high school to annex George Inness Junior High School school across the street, which is aptly called "the annex" "ninth grade academy" or the "Freshman Building", in which many of the ninth grade classes take place.

MHS prides itself on the diversity of the school and students are given a relatively liberal education compared to many other public schools in the United States. Largely due to the significant influx of young, wealthy New York City professionals in the early 1980s, Montclair itself has a unique liberal atmosphere and retains progressive values in its public education. Graduates of Montclair High School are often placed in some of the country's most prestigious universities.
