Thomas Jefferson High School (New Jersey)

[1] In 1977, district officials stated that the inability to determine attendance zones for the two comprehensive high schools after Thomas Jefferson High School opened in 1929 combined with the expansive shop facilities in the new building, led the district to decide to split students by sex, with girls at Battin and boys at Thomas Jefferson.

The $29.3 million project included renovations to Thomas Jefferson High School, which was integrated into the new complex.
