The Morris Hills High School Scarlet Knights now compete in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. The school had previously participated in the 20-member Iron Hills Conference. With 831 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2011-12 school year as North I, Group III, a category that included schools with enrollment of 819 to 1,112. Sports offered at Morris Hills include baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, fencing, field hockey, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
The football team won the NJSIAA North II Group III state sectional championship in 1975.
The Morris Hills Boys Basketball team made the state tournament for the first time in 10 years in 2006, though it lost in the first round to 6th-seeded Passaic Valley High School 67-45.
Morris Hills also has a successful baseball program, winning 135 games in a span of six seasons with a Morris County Tournament Championship (2002), a North I Group III state sectional title (2004), and five Iron Hills Conference (Hills Division) championships (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007).
