History

Built in 1932 in Colonial Revival style, a product of the New Deal Era, the high school opened to students in September of that year and graduated its first class the following June. Students from Pompton Lakes attended Butler High School before the opening of Pompton Lakes High School. At its opening in 1933, the school received students from Wayne, Oakland, and Midland Park as well as Pompton Lakes. Since then, the school has maintained much of its original structure, with additions of a larger library, another locker room, and an entirely new wing erected in the 1960s. [6]

Students from Wayne had attended the school until 1952, when Wayne Valley High School was opened. [8] Oakland joined Franklin Lakes and Wyckoff in creating a regional school district in 1954 [9] with students starting to attend Ramapo High School for the 1956–57 school year. [10]
