Phillipsburg High School, also known locally as P'Burg High School, is a comprehensive, four-year public high school located in Phillipsburg, in Warren County, New Jersey, United States. The school was first established in 1871 and is located in the eastern part of the Lehigh Valley, at the Pennsylvania border.〔(School Information ), Phillipsburg High School. Accessed October 3, 2011. "Phillipsburg High School, one of the oldest high schools in New Jersey, was organized by an act of the State legislature in 1871. It offered two programs, the Classical course designed for 'our young men to enter the freshmen class of any American College,' and the Normal Course for those planning to attend the State Normal Schools (later known as State Colleges)."〕 For this reason, the school's nickname is the "Stateliners." The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 2000.〔(Phillipsburg High School ), Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools, backed up by the Internet Archive as of April 24, 2012.
