History

The school originally opened in 1923 as Sts. Philip and James Parochial School and shared a building on South Main Street with Sts Philip and James Elementary School. As enrollment increased, by 1958 the need for a new high school location was evident. Twenty-one acres of land on Roseberry Street were purchased and after an ambitious campaign drive led by Reverend Joseph V. Kozak, the new high school was dedicated on August 20, 1961, as Phillipsburg Catholic High School.

In 1989 the parish turned over the operation of the school to the Diocese of Metuchen to be operated as a regional school named All Saints Regional School. The Sisters of Mercy left at the end of the 1989-90 school year, bringing to an end over 100 years of service given to the Phillipsburg community. The Diocese arranged for the services of another order, the Sister Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 1994 the high school was closed, citing low enrollment and fiscal expenses. [1] The elementary school was moved to the high school building.

In 1999 the elementary school was converted back to a parish school associated with Sts. Philip and James Church. It was renamed Sts. Philip and James School.

Athletics

The baseball team won the Non-Public Group C state championship in 1975, defeating St. Peter the Apostle High School in the tournament final. [2]

The field hockey team won the Parochial B North title in 1982 and went on to be named as Parochial B co-champion with Eustace Preparatory School after a scoreless tie in the championship game. [3] [4]
