West Morris Mendham High School (also known as Mendham High School) is a four-year comprehensive regional public high school that serves students in ninth though twelfth grade as part of the West Morris Regional High School District. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words west, morris, high and/or school:
“O native country, repossessed by thee!
For, rather than I’ll to the West return,
I’ll beg of thee first here to have mine urn.
Weak I am grown, and must in short time fall;
Give thou my sacred relics burial.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
—William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)
“There’s Margaret and Marjorie and Dorothy and Nan,
A Daphne and a Mary who live in privacy;
One’s had her fill of lovers, another’s had but one,
Another boasts, “I pick and choose and have but two or three.”
If head and limb have beauty and the instep’s high and light
They can spread out what sail they please for all I have to say....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
