History

[edit]

After the district ended a high school program in 1917, students were sent to Bloomfield High School and later were sent to Passaic Valley Regional High School. A new Cedar Grove Memorial High School program was temporarily housed at Memorial School and opened in September 1961 with 331 students in grades 9 and 10.[5] The new Cedar Grove Memorial High School building, constructed at a cost of $1.5 million (equivalent to $15.1 million in 2023) opened in September 1962.[6] The first graduating class coming at the conclusion of the 1963-64 school year. As part of an effort to avoid mix-ups with other schools named Memorial High School, the name of the high school was changed to Cedar Grove High School at the start of the 1988-89 school year.[7]
