During the latter renovation project, it was discovered that the land under the high school had served as a garbage dump prior to the construction of the building.

Another major cause for delay was multiple budgetary issues that required a public vote by township citizens.

Apart from standard classrooms, the school has a fully equipped library, six electronic classrooms, several computer labs with both Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computers, industrial-technological rooms, naturally lit art studios, a photography studio with a Darkroom, three gymnasiums, a pool, two music rooms, an auditorium with an orchestra pit, television production studios, and a commons area that serves as a link between the school and outside community.

The North Brunswick Township High School Raiders[2] compete in the Greater Middlesex Conference, which is comprised of public and private high schools in the Middlesex County area and operates under the auspices of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).

[17] The football team competes in Division 5D of the Big Central Football Conference, which includes 60 public and private high schools in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties, which are broken down into 10 divisions by size and location.

[19] NBTHS has a wide range of athletic facilities, available to both its student body and the North Brunswick community.

The boys' soccer team won the Group III state championship in 1993, defeating Parsippany High School by a score of 2-1 in the tournament final to finish the season with a record of 15-5-2.

[22] NBTHS offers close to 35 extracurricular activities for its students, many of which are integrated with the school's academic curriculum.

Its DECA program, linked with the school's marketing coursework, has won championships at the regional, state, and national levels.

To accommodate the growth of the school's arts program, the North Brunswick Board of Education approved a $67 million expansion that includes a 1,000-seat auditorium, music practice rooms, and theater and film production studios.

[24] The team has also consistently won numerous state regionals all across the country as well and received international recognition for its achievements.

In the 2008-09 school year the mock trial team earned the title of Middlesex County and Central Jersey champions, and ended third in the state; it was the first time in over 30 years that a Middlesex County team advanced to semi-regionals.
