More than 150 students plan to stay in New Jersey for college.

The West Orange High School class of 2014 have been accepted to three hundred and four, (304) colleges across the country and in Canada, as reported by the West Orange High School guidance department.

Students at West Orange High School are well prepared for post secondary educational opportunities as they are provided with a rigorous educational curriculum, a myriad of Honors and Advanced Placement courses, hundreds of extracurricular activities, arts and athletic teams to participate in, and leadership and community service opportunities within the district, and the region.  All of these educational, civic, social, artistic and athletic experiences are what colleges and universities look for in a first choice student for their school communities.

West Orange High School is a community where dozens of cultures, races, religious and socio-economic groups, learn, work and play together as one family of West Orange Mountaineers.  The West Orange Mountaineer mission of educating the whole student in a cohesive multi-cultural environment, results in an educational experience that is much desired at colleges and universities across the nation.
