[6] The district's high school, originally named Arthur L. Johnson Regional High School, was constructed at a cost of $2 million by the Union County Regional High School District and included 94,000 square feet (8,700 m2) of space for classes and other facilities, The school, which was named for a longtime county superintendent who was a leading advocate for regionalization, opened in December 1956.
[7] Amid conflict between the constituent municipalities about financing a district described as "the highest-spending regional high school in the state" and anger from residents impacted by the closure of David Brearley High School, a referendum was held in May 1996 in which voters approved a proposal to breakup the regional district.
As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election.
