The school is located in Mendham Borough, New Jersey, United States. Students hail from the surrounding Morris County school districts of Chester Borough, Chester Township, Mendham Borough and Mendham Township (includes the areas of Brookside and Ralston).
As of the 2010-11 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,325 students and 85.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.48:1. There were 14 students (1.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and none eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Its sister school, West Morris Central High School, is located in Washington Township. Students from Washington Township attend West Morris Central. The two schools maintain a athletic rivalry, which has survived decades of conference and schedule changes for all sports. Mount Olive High School broke from the original three-school District in 1977.
Mendham was certified to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma in January 1998. The school is one of only 16 schools in New Jersey to offer the IB program.

However rare—rare it be;
And when I crumble, who will remember
This lady of the West Country?”

And the night is a-cold,
And Thames runs chill
‘Twixt mead and hill.
But kind and dear
Is the old house here
And my heart is warm
Midst winter’s harm.”

The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.”
