History[]
The district's original high school building opened in September 1960, with 950 students in seventh through tenth grades.[7] Students from Mantua Township had attended Pitman High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[8]
Desilets v. Clearview Regional Board of Education, was a case involving the district in which the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that a curricular student newspaper has a lower standard of protection under the First Amendment based on the educational mission of the school.[9]

Board of education[]
The district's board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the day-to-day operation of the district.[19][20][21] Seats on the nine-member board are allocated based on population, with five seats assigned to Mantua and four to Harrison Township.[22]
