History
The current location is the fourth home for the high school. On April 30, 1931, the cornerstone was laid for a new building for the high school that was to be constructed at a cost of $350,000. In January 1961, Roselle Park voters rejected a proposal for the construction of a new high school that would have cost $2.5 million to build.
The high school was originally located at the site of today's Robert Gordon Elementary School. The school moved to a second building, now demolished, on Locust Street. The third incarnation of the high school was located in what is now the current Roselle Park Middle School. In 1993, a new wing was constructed, adding three additional classrooms.

“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”

“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
