Educational Options for a Changing World
A Message from the Principal
Welcome to New Milford High School. Our goal is to provide students with the best education possible in a way that is relevant, engaging, authentic, student-centered and innovative in its approach to promoting an appreciation for lifelong learning. New Milford High School’s commitment to excellence requires not only respect for the individuality of students and staff from diverse cultural, economic, social, racial, intellectual, linguistic and educational perspectives, but also a sustained effort to leverage that diversity toward the achievement of district and school goals.
Our school’s dedicated staff provides each student with the tools necessary to lead productive lives in today’s ever changing society. It is the school’s responsibility to nurture and guide students to be the best they can be. With approximately 600 students, the size of New Milford High School is ideal for students to receive the proper attention they deserve in a safe learning environment that draws upon active involvement from the entire school community for the success of its students.
All students at New Milford High School are encouraged to enroll in a wide range of challenging courses in preparation for college and careers. With many exciting elective courses catering to varied student interests, we offer numerous co-curricular and extracurricular activities, including 21 varsity sports, and 20 clubs and activities. We are also proud to offer advanced placement courses, dual enrollment courses, an Option II program, community service program, senior internship program, Academies@NMHS Program and an associates degree partnership with Bergen Community College.
The teachers, administrators, students and parents take tremendous pride in our school, what it has to offer, and its accomplishments. New Milford High School looks forward to hearing from interested parents, students, and community members and encourages all to contact the school by phone or email with any questions or concerns.
