History

The first class to graduate from Ramsey was the class of 1908, and they went to school in the current Borough Hall. After that, students went to John Y. Dater School, which was a regional K-12 school at the time. The first Ramsey High School was constructed in 1912, with the first commencement held in June 1913. An addition was constructed in 1923. By 1935, additional space was needed, and a new building was proposed to take advantage of funding available through the

Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new building were held on January 16, 1936, and the "New Ramsey High School", completed at a cost of $600,000 (equivalent to $ million in ), was dedicated in June 1937. With baby boomers filling the school beyond capacity, the school informed its sending districts of Franklin Lakes and Wyckoff that it would no longer accept students from those two communities at the high school beyond the 1956–57 school year; the two communities joined
