HHS is an EXCEPTIONAL school - I had both my children graduate from there and they are both in Private Colleges now. They did so well that they are receiving a substantial amount of scholarship from these colleges. Our friends children, who went to the East Brunswick schools are both at the County College. Go Figure!! So I guess it is a lot about your kids and how much they take away - if you have taught them well at home and taught them the merits of paying attention in class - they will do well - no matter what school they attend. We loved the staff at HHS and felt they were very attentive. If your child WANTS to learn - THIS is a the school to attend!

I am a parent of an ex HHS student. I had to pull my child out of this school district due to the lack of supervision and the outright inability of the district to control/discipline troubled students. The principals and adminstration are a joke and the board is not much better. This year they sent all the teachers to Disney for teacher conferences. Why would a school district do that when they can't even supply the students with needed materials to get a decent education. If I was asked, I would strongly recommend that no one I know send their children to this school district.

Im a recent drop out of HHS my freshman and sophmore year where the best years ever. It had a great enviorment and some of the teachers were very helpful although the asst. principles and guidance counselour weren't as much help as they should have been. They gave incorrect information which really isnt great thats the reason I dropped out. But over all the enviorment is fine and some teachers are great.

I am a recent graduate of HHS and had a great experience. I had some wonderful teachers and I also hit a few pretty bad ones. My freshman and sophomore years were more enjoyable and a better environment to go to school in. The new administration made some very unnecessary changes that made it harder to be motivated to go to school. I had a great overall experience with high school though but it was all based on the few great teachers I had.
