History
Through the start of the 1957-58 school year, students from Upper Saddle River, as well as those from Allendale, Mahwah and Saddle River all attended Ramsey High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective districts and the Ramsey Public School District.[9] Allendale, Mahwah and Upper Saddle River left the Ramsey district in September 1958 once Mahwah High School was completed; Allendale and Upper Saddle River joined the Northern Highlands District once the school was opened in 1965.[10]

Board of education
The district's board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[21][22][23]
As of 2012, school elections were shifted from April to the November general election as part of an effort to reduce the costs of a standalone April vote.[24]
