Overview

Princeton High underwent significant reconstruction from 2003 to 2007 as part of an $86 million project to renovate the Princeton Regional School District's school buildings. At the start of the 2006-07 school year, the new auditorium, science labs, gymnasium, and the bulk of the new wings and staircases in the school opened. The renovated library (now located in the former auditorium) opened in May 2007. During the summer of 2007, finishing touches such as the removal of classroom trailers, installation of tennis courts, repaving of parking lots, finishing of renovations to old portions of the building, and work on the new, state-of-the-art fitness center took place. The district-wide renovations were declared officially complete at the beginning of the 2007-08 school year.
Residents of Princeton University's housing complexes for graduate students with families, Butler Apartments, Lawrence Apartments, and Stanworth Apartments, are zoned to Princeton High School.
