History

[edit]
George Inness Annex or Freshman Building

Founded in 1886, Montclair High School quickly outgrew its original location (torn down in the 1930s) on Orange Road, the site of which is now the field of Hillside School.[7] Initially, the school included just the Main Building but as time went on and the enrollment grew, the board of education allowed the high school to annex George Inness Junior High School across the street which is used for ninth-grade classes.[7][8]

The front façade of the Main building with the old marquee. The marquee was replaced with an electronic signboard.

Facilities

[edit]

The school holds classes in two buildings. The Main Building of the high school is located 100 Chestnut Street, and the George Innes Annex or Freshman building is located on 141 Park Street.[8] Montclair High School has an amphitheater.[8] Its Woodman Field and Furlong Field House are on Essex Avenue, two blocks east of the main campus.[8]

The Montclair High School Mounties[3] compete in the Super Essex Conference, which includes public and private high schools in Essex County and was established following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[28] Until the NJSIAA's 2009 realignment, the school participated in Division B of the Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League, which was comprised of high schools located in Bergen County, Essex County, and Passaic County, and was separated into three divisions based on NJSIAA size classification.[29] With 1,596 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group IV for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 1,060 to 5,049 students in that grade range.[30] The football team competes in the Liberty White division of the North Jersey Super Football Conference, which includes 112 schools in 20 divisions, making it the nation's biggest football-only high school sports league.[31][32] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group V North for football for 2024–2026, which included schools with 1,317 to 5,409 students.[33] Montclair's sports programs include rowing, baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and field, fencing, golf, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, tennis, and bowling.[3]

MHS expanded and refurnished its field house at Woodman Field in Essex Park.
