Morristown High School (MHS) is a four-year public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from three communities in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Morris School District. The school serves students from Morristown and Morris Township, along with students from Morris Plains, who attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Morris Plains Schools.[4][5] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1952.[6][7]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,868 students and 139.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.4:1. There were 379 students (20.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 94 (5.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

MHS receives students from Frelinghuysen Middle School, Morris Plains Borough School, and several public and private middle schools.
