Former and Converted Schools
From the early 1960s to the early 1990s, the Bridgewater-Raritan district had two high schools, known as "East" and "West." The current unified high school is on the "West" site, and the former "East" building is now the Middle School.
Schools that have been closed since the 1980s include:
- Valley School (now the Harmon V. Wade Administration Building, school district headquarters)
- Finderne School (now the Peoplecare Center for non-profit community services)
- Green Knoll School (now part of the Bridgewater Township Municipal Building complex)
- Martinsville School (now occupied by private offices)
- Washington Middle School in Raritan (converted to Somerset County offices)
Adamsville School, now an elementary school, was a middle school until the 1980s. Eisenhower and Hillside Schools, now intermediate schools, were both middle schools until 1995.

Famous quotes containing the words converted and/or schools:
“Poetry is the supreme fiction, madame.
Take the moral law and make a nave of it
And from the nave build haunted heaven. Thus,
The conscience is converted into palms,
Like windy citherns hankering for hymns.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
