Welcome our Midland Park Community!!

Whether you are a parent, student, or prospective family thinking about moving to Midland Park, I welcome you.

It is often said that Midland Park High School provides a private school experience within a public school setting. Our high school and middle schools are set apart by their unique blend of rigorous curricula, engaging instruction, and dynamic range of afterschool activities, including competitive sports, performing arts, and enrichment. Combined, all of these attributes give our students a full range of opportunities to pursue an all-encompassing school experience that rivals the best in the area and that, most importantly, prepares them for future success as productive members of society. At Midland Park High School, we give our students all of the tools that they need to achieve their personal best. Our students have access to:

    • Middle School- 11 sports

While our middle school shares the same campus as our high school, our 7th and 8th graders are in a separate wing of the school. Since these students are in the same building, our middle school students are invited to participate in many high school extras they would never experience, including high school level sports teams, Marching Band, and performance arts programs. 

I am profoundly proud of our schools and the dedicated faculty and staff to come here every day to help enrich the experience of their students. There is a climate and culture that honors and celebrates diversity, promotes tolerance, and ensures the respect and worth of every individual.  I am also deeply honored to join with our students and their families in giving our children a strong foundation on which to grow and succeed. Thank you for the privilege to serve you.
