Green Brook High School 132 Jefferson Avenue Green Brook, NJ  08812 ABOUT  GBHS

Green Brook High School was built in 1968. At the time high school-age students residing in
Green Brook Township were attending the public high school in the neighboring borough of
Dunellen. In the 1969-70 academic year, GBHS was home to seventh and eighth graders, as
well as Somerset County College (later re-named Raritan Valley Community College), which
the following year moved to Bridgewater.

The school opened its doors to high school students in September 1970, and the first senior
class graduated in June 1971.  From 1970 until 1990, GBHS served as both a middle and
high school.  Upwards of about 1,550 students graduated from GBHS.

By the late 1980s, demographic patterns had shifted so as to make it more difficult to justify
the continued existence of the school, and in 1989, Green Brook residents voted to send the
township's high school students to Watchung Hills Regional High School.  The last senior
class graduated from GBHS in June 1990. Since then the building has served as a middle
school, and currently for students in grades 4 through 8.

As an institution, GBHS is no more; through this site, it lives on.
