Teaneck High School (known as The Castle on the Hill[3]) is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Teaneck, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the lone secondary school of the Teaneck Public Schools. The school has been accredited since 1935 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools.[4]

As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,274 students and 114.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.14:1. There were 296 students (23.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 118 (9.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

The school was renovated in 2003–04, giving students new classrooms as well as a new student center. Teaneck has implemented two academies that focus on the sciences and the arts.

Core members of the school's administration are principal Dennis Heck, with assistant principals Peter LoGiudice and Pedro Valdes III.[5] Heck was named interim principal on August 3, 2011, after the Board of Education approved a series of administrative changes that moved Angela Davis from her principal post at Teaneck High School to assume the same position at Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and to name Peter LoGiudice as assistant principal at the high school on an interim basis.[6]

Teaneck's sports teams are nicknamed the Highwaymen; girls' teams are called the Highwaywomen.[2] The team name comes from the highwaymen who would seize money and belongings from those traveling along highways during the 17th and 18th century and for the school's location overlooking Route 4.[7]

Awards, recognition and rankings

In Newsweek's May 22, 2007 issue, ranking the country's top high schools, Teaneck High School was listed in 1080th place, the 33rd-highest ranked school in New Jersey.[8]

The school was the 156th-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.[9] The school had been ranked 126th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 114th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[10] The magazine ranked the school 121st in 2008 out of 316 schools.[11] The school was ranked 102nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[12]

Schooldigger.com ranked the school 266th out of 367 public high schools statewide in its 2009-10 rankings which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[13]

History

The school was opened in the current building, which resembles a Tudor palace in 1928, and a new wing was added in 1936. Honors courses were introduced in the 1960s. Teaneck has been a four-year high school since the 1980s.

In 1934, Teaneck High School became the first in the nation to offer a program in aviation as a vocational component of its academic program. Using a plane purchased for $1,800, students were trained in class regarding the technical aspects of flying during the first year of the two-year program, with students getting at least the minimum 50 hours of flight training during the second year needed to obtain a pilot's license.[14]

In 1972, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey represented Teaneck High School student Abbe Seldin in her legal battle to play tennis at the school. The coach would not let her play for the men's team, although no women's team existed. Seldin won her case and later became the first woman at Syracuse University to win an athletic scholarship.[15]

In 1987, the school was the subject of a 20/20 documentary on the effects of Heavy Metal on students.[16]

Principal Joseph White resigned after being arrested following taped discussions in which he engaged in sexual conversations with a high school student. White had been acquitted of molestation charges in 2003 in an incident involving a different youth.[17] In May 2007, White was offered a plea deal that would have him serve a year in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to third-degree charges of child endangerment and official misconduct.[18] White had been charged in 2002 with having "touched the genital area" of a 17-year-old male.[19]

On May 1, 2014, more than 60 students were taken into police custody following a senior prank at Teaneck High School. Police Sergeant John Garland stated that the overturned tables and vaseline-smeared doorknobs were "the craziest thing [he'd] ever seen" in his 19 years as a police officer.[20] While initial reports of the incident stated that the students had also urinated in the halls,[21] this claim was explicitly refuted in a statement issued by Teaneck Public Schools superintendent Barbara Pinsak.[22]

Academies

In the fall of 2002, two academies, or "schools within a school," were launched. The T.E.A.M.S. Academy (Technology-Enriched Academy for Mathematics and Science) is a three-hour daily program that seeks to integrate technology, mathematics, science, and computer science in a smaller learning environment. The TAA Performing Arts Academy aims to integrate various art forms such as dance, film making, instrumental music and technical theatre to prepare students for college majors and internships in the Fine and Performing Arts.[23]

Extracurricular activities

Teaneck High School has a rich chess legacy, having among its alumni state and national champions Shearwood McClelland III '96, and Joan Santana '00. In March 1997, the Highwaymen captured the New Jersey State High School Chess Championship.[24]

Athletics

Teaneck High School

Teaneck High School competes in the Big North Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[25] In the 2009-10 school year, the school competed in the North Jersey Tri-County Conference, which was established on an interim basis to facilitate the realignment.[26] Until the NJSIAA's 2009 realignment, the school had participated in Division A of the Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League, which was made up of high schools located in Bergen County, Essex County and Passaic County, and was separated into three divisions based on NJSIAA size classification.[27] With 971 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2014-15 school year as North I, Group III for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 754 to 1,076 students in that grade range.[28]

The boys basketball team won the 2003 Group IV state championship with a 61–54 win over Elizabeth High School in the semis and a 68–56 win over Trenton Central High School in the finals.[30]

The boys team won the Group IV state championship in 1999 and advanced to the Tournament of Champions Final, finally losing to Seton Hall Preparatory School.[31]

Winning their 28th consecutive game that season, the Highwaymen took the 2011 North I Group III state sectional title with a 68-40 win over Passaic Valley Regional High School during their first year under head coach Jerome Smart.[32] That same season, head coach Shenee Clark led the Highwaywomen to a state sectional title in the North 1 Group 3 region with a 63-42 win over Ramapo High School, behind 15 points from top scorer Jakelle King-Gilchrist.[33]

The THS homecoming football game has been held annually on Thanksgiving Day against rival Hackensack High School since 1931, alternating each year with each school as host.[34]

Runner Kahlia Taylor won the Group III state championships in 2012 in both the 100m and 200m sprints, becoming only the sixth female runner from a public school in North Jersey to achieve this accomplishment.[35]
