Roxbury High School's Mascot is the Gaels, an Irish Warrior, which was a nickname given to the football team in the 1930s by local news writers because of three Irish brothers on the team that were standouts. The Roxbury High School Gaels now compete in the American Division of the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. Prior to the realignment that took place in 2010, Roxbury had participated in the now defunct twenty-member Iron Hills Conference. With 1,144 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2011-12 school year as North I Group IV, a category that included schools with enrollment of 1,120 to 2,479.
