Welcome to Scotch Plains - Fanwood High School!

There are many reasons to love this school, but it all starts with the culture. A school’s culture is defined as who we are, and how we do things, as a school community. All of us here at SPFHS seek to establish and maintain a culture in which students and staff are accepted, welcomed, respected and understood as part of a vibrant school community - a community of learners seeking excellence together.

All of us at SPFHS are given the opportunity to become lifelong learners. Our staff seeks to educate and empower our students to grow as citizens of the world and as scholars with the commitment to learning and critical-thinking skills needed for the 21st century. Our school’s partnership of students, staff, parents and community members is designed to emphasize academic and personal growth at all times, and to value all who are part of this school community. We believe that academic excellence, educational equity and concern for the greater good are all attainable in a public high school. We welcome you to connect with us on this engaging and worthwhile journey.
