Phillipsburg High School is a comprehensive, four-year public high school located in Phillipsburg, in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Because of the town's proximity to the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania the school's nickname is the "Stateliners." The school was first established in 1871.[6] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 2000.[5]

The school is part of the Phillipsburg School District, one of 31 former Abbott districts statewide that were established pursuant to the decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court in Abbott v. Burke[7] which are now referred to as "SDA Districts" based on the requirement for the state to cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority.[8][9] The district serves students from Phillipsburg and from five other municipalities: Alpha, Bloomsbury (in Hunterdon County), Greenwich Township, Lopatcong Township and Pohatcong Township, who attend as part of sending/receiving relationships.[10][11][12]

The site of the new Phillipsburg High School, which began construction in January 2014, is in Lopatcong Township, with the site of the old school converted for use as Phillipsburg Middle School.[13] The three-story, 330,000-square-foot (31,000 m2) building, with more than double the floor space of the existing high school and a capacity to accommodate more than 2,100 students, was completed for the 2016–17 school year and was dedicated in September 2016 at ceremonies attended by Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie.[14][15] Phillipsburg High School's enrollment had been in excess of the school's capacity. To compensate for this, the Phillipsburg School District purchased or leased 31 trailers.

As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,799 students and 139.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9:1. There were 512 students (28.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 93 (5.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Awards, recognition and rankings

[edit]

The school was the 183rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[16] The school had been ranked 215th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 276th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[17] The magazine ranked the school 275th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[18] The school was ranked 234th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[19]

New high school

[edit]

Original plans for a new high school campus had stalled due to lack of funds by the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation. In July 2008, new state funding was secured and on October 5, 2009, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of the new high school located on Belvidere Road in Lopatcong Township. Then-Governor Jon Corzine was in attendance as well as former Governor James Florio, Phillipsburg School District Superintendent Mark B. Miller and then-State Education Commissioner Lucille Davy.[20]

The new campus had been expected to cost $174.4 million and was planned to hold a 326,000 sq ft (30,300 m2) school and seven athletic fields. After the initial plans had been put on hold, Governor Chris Christie announced in February 2012 that the plan was back online, with a revised estimate of $675 million for the project.[21] Initial contracts were awarded in 2013, with a projected open date for the 2016–17 school year.[22] After many delays, construction started in January 2014 and the new school opened on September 12, 2016. The class of 2020 will be the first to have never attended the old high school building.[23]

Athletics

[edit]

The Phillipsburg High School Stateliners[2] compete as a member of the Skyland Conference, which is comprised of public and private high schools in Hunterdon, Somerset County and Warren counties, and operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[24] With 1,242 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.[25] The football team competes in Division 5B of the Big Central Football Conference, which includes 60 public and private high schools in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties, which are broken down into 10 divisions by size and location.[26] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group IV North for football for 2024–2026, which included schools with 893 to 1,315 students.[27] The school had been a member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's defunct East Penn Conference.[28]

The football team won the North II Group III state championship in 1977 and 2008, the North II Group IV in 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2018.[33] By the end of the 2019 season, the football program had a total of 703 wins in 114 seasons of play, which include 14 state sectional championships.[34] Down 7-0, the 2001 team pulled ahead to win with a last-minute touchdown in a 10-7 victory against Montclair High School in the North II Group IV sectional final.[35] In 2008, the Stateliners completed a 10–2 season beating Rahway High School by a score of 20–6 in the North II Group III state sectional final to win the program's fourth sectional title.[36] 2008 postseason rankings put the Stateliners at 13th in the state, 1st in West Jersey, and 5th in Group III. The 2018 team won the North II Group IV sectional title with a 42-7 win against Irvington High School[37]

Easton Area High School rivalry

[edit]

The Stateliners have an athletic rivalry with neighboring Easton Area High School in Easton, Pennsylvania, which celebrated its 100th annual football game on Thanksgiving 2006, making it one of the oldest rivalries in the nation.[38] The 100th meeting between the two schools, which Easton won 21–7, was broadcast nationally on ESPN2 on Thanksgiving Day 2006.[39] The game, which typically draws some 15,000 - 20,000 fans before Thanksgiving dinner is served, was broadcast nationally on ESPN in 1988, with games played on Lafayette College's Fisher Stadium in Easton. In 2009, the 1993 teams from the Easton / Phillipsburg game met again for the Gatorade REPLAY Game to resolve the game, which ended in a 7–7 tie, with more than 13,000 fans watching as Phillipsburg won by a score of 27–12.[40] The two schools have participated in an annual rivalry since 1905, which Easton leads 67-43-5 through the 2022 season. NJ.com listed the rivalry in the second spot on their 2017 list "Ranking the 31 fiercest rivalries in N.J. HS football", saying that the only thing that kept it from being top-ranked was the fact that one of the schools is not in New Jersey.[41]

Ice hockey
