History

edit

Until 1960, students from South Brunswick attended Jamesburg High School, a relationship that was ended after the Jamesburg Public Schools announced that students from South Brunswick would not be admitted after 1959. A new school building was designed to accommodate an eventual enrollment of 1,000 and be constructed with the proceeds of a $1.8 million bond issue (equivalent to $19 million in 2023).[6]

The first South Brunswick High School, located at the corner of Major Road and Kingston Lane, was dedicated in October 1960 with a crowd of 800 in attendance.[7]

The current 360,000-square-foot (33,000 m2) building was built in 1997 on an 80-acre (32 ha) campus at the corner of Stouts Lane and Ridge Road due to overcrowding issues and paid for as part of a $51 million project (the equal of $96.8 million in 2023).[8] With the opening of the new high school facility, the original building was repurposed for grades 6-8 and is now Crossroads South Middle School.[9] The annex which is connected by a two-level indoor bridge on levels 2 and 3 was built in 2003–04, on the side of Stouts Lane.
