Essex High School, originally constructed in 1970, was in a state of deterioration due to its age and in need of renewal to promote and strengthen academic programs.
A comprehensive Facility Study was conducted, to include an in-depth review of educational program requirements and investigations into facility condition and needed improvements. The renovations and additions to the school have given Essex County a high functioning facility to aid in delivering high quality education and a much needed meeting place, the only county auditorium. The project has helped in reinvigorating traditions of Pride, Honor and Excellence.
