Howell High School (HHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades located in Howell Township in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as one of six secondary schools of the Freehold Regional High School District.[7] The school serves all students from Farmingdale and those from some portions of Howell Township.[8] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1970.[5] Although located in Howell, the school has a Farmingdale mailing address.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,905 students and 129.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.7:1. There were 217 students (11.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 38 (2.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]
The school hosts the Fine & Performing Arts Center (FPAC) and the Scholars' Center for the Humanities.[9]
Blue and gray are the school colors,[3] although originally all schools in the district had blue and gold as the school colors at least until the late 1970s. This was originally done so the district could attempt to realize some cost savings on uniforms for extracurriculars.
History
After voters rejected a June 1961 referendum for a 1,600-student capacity school, a ballot question for a facility to serve 300 fewer students was passed in March 1962 by a 2-1 margin. The board of education confirmed the name Southern Freehold Regional High School in November 1962, despite efforts by Howell Township to have the school named after the host community. The district allocated $2.7 million (equivalent to $27.2 million in 2023) for construction of a building on a 60-acre (24 ha) site to handle an enrollment of up to 1,300 students. Ground was broken in March 1963, with construction set to start a month later and a target completion date of May 1964.[10][11]
The school opened in September 1964, though construction delays meant that the school was not fully complete.[12] When it opened, the Southern Freehold Regional High School attendance zone included all of Farmingdale and Howell Township along with the southern portion of Freehold Township.[13]
The school mascot is the Rebel, which had been depicted as a Confederate Army soldier with white hair and a gray uniform.[14] The mascot was selected due to the school's original name, "Southern Freehold Regional High School," which lasted until the district expanded to three schools in 1968 when the school was renamed as Howell High School.[15][16] While the nickname Rebels was retained after a redesign for the 2020-21 school year, the mascot was redesigned to look like an American soldier from the American Revolutionary War.[17]
Awards, recognition and rankings
The school was the 107th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[18] The school had been ranked 187th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 174th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[19] The magazine ranked the school 159th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[20] The school was ranked 181st in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[21] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 67th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 16 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (88.0%) and language arts literacy (98.7%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[22]

The school participates as the host school / lead agency for a joint ice hockey team with Matawan Regional High School. The co-op program operates under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year.[29]

The boys' soccer team finished the 1972 season with a record of 18-0 after winning the Group III state championship, defeating River Dell High School in the tournament final played at Glassboro State College by a score of 1-0, one of the team's 12 shutouts that year.[31][32][33]

Other high schools in the district
Attendance at each of the district's high schools is based on where the student lives in relation to the district's high schools.
