Learn more about Edison High School.
The four RâÂÂs of Eagle Pride (Respect, Readiness, Responsibility, and Red & Gold) are the foundation that serve to turn our fledgling freshmen eaglets into soaring senior eagles. Respect is the base of these ideals, respect for yourself, others, the rules, the struggle, and the red and the gold. Readiness builds on this and asks our students to come prepared daily to learn and grow. Responsibility asks that students take accountability for their actions and create their future. Finally, the Red and the Gold asks students to have pride in their high school, get involved in the school community and be a part of what is great about Edison High School.

The mission of the Edison Public Schools is to ensure that all students achieve at the highest level of academic success. In pursuit of this mission we provide a variety of supports in the form of an ESL and Bilingual program, Gifted and Talented program, Response to Intervention, Intervention and Referral Services, before and after school academies to help struggling students grow, and a variety of specialized programs for students with disabilities.
In Edison, we believe strongly that academic success is tied to the social and emotional well being of our students. Our students are supported by counselors in every building. Counselors provide support for parents and students through one on one meeting time, class lessons, and social skills groups. Beyond our school based counselors, we also have a partnership with Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care which provide a vast continuum of services. At Edison High School, a group of students led by teachers formed Sources of Strength whose mission is to impact their world through the power of connection, hope, help and strength.
We have an active PTSO that positively recognizes our students' academic accomplishments by providing them with an Honor Roll Breakfast at the conclusion of every marking period. This parent group also organizes Project Graduation for our graduating senior class. Additionally, we have numerous parent-run boards that enhance the extracurricular experience of our students. Parents also are represented on our School Safety Committee and other pertinent panels.
