History

In 1955, Pascack Valley Regional High School District opened Pascack Valley High School with an enrollment of 650 students from the towns of Hillsdale, Montvale, River Vale, and Woodcliff Lake.

During the next several years enrollment increased and so did the faculty and building capacity. Additional classrooms were added and the program of studies was expanded. Increased enrollment in 1963 resulted in double sessions. In September of 1964, Pascack Hills High School opened up to students living in Montvale, Woodcliff Lake and a portion of Hillsdale. Pascack Valley High School had the balance of Hillsdale students and all of River Vale students.

By 1970, the enrollment was again up to capacity and building construction was necessary to house 1,800 students. This expansion of Pascack Valley High School provided additional classrooms, expanded department areas, and other facilities such as gymnasium, a new cafeteria and library.

Awards and recognition

In the 2000-01 school year, Pascack Valley Regional High School was recognized with the Best Practices Award by the New Jersey Department of Education for its "Senior Projects/Senior Alternate Assessment Program"^[1].
