Accessed March 18, 2015. 'A four-year public high school, Northern Highlands strives to address the needs of all of its students who come from four towns in northern Bergen County: Allendale, Upper Saddle River, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Saddle River."〕 Students from Saddle River have the option of attending either Northern Highlands or Ramsey High School, as part of sending/receiving relationships with the two districts.〔Staff. ("Tuition to rise $219 under new contract" ), ''Town Journal'', November 19, 2009. Accessed August 22, 2011. "With no high school in the borough, Saddle River students have the option of enrolling in either Ramsey High School or Northern Highlands. The new deal replaces the previous agreement that covered 1998 to 2008."〕 As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,328 students and 113.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.66:1.

("Districts moving school elections" ), ''Town Journal'', February 15, 2012. Accessed November 30, 2014. "The Allendale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Northern Highlands, Saddle River and Upper Saddle River boards of education voted to move their respective school elections to November for at least the next four annual elections. The five districts, along with a majority of school boards across the state, are moving their elections from April to November in hopes of sparing taxpayers the expense of a separate election, according to the New Jersey School Boards Association."〕 ==History== In May 1963, voters in Allendale and Upper Saddle River approved a referendum to create Northern Highlands Regional High School, with the expenditure of $3.65 million to build a facility on a 40-acre site, with plans to complete the building in time to start classes in September 1965.〔Staff.

The facilities included in the original structure included a planetarium and 750-seat auditorium / theater and an FM radio station.〔Robbins, William.
