Secaucus high has not changed one bit! I graduated about 10 years ago and came back to attended a game for my nephew. I ran into a couple of my old teachers and they were still their warm and welcoming self as they were while I was a student. Secaucus High is just one big family that just looks out for you

I love being a student here but I feel that you can only really bring out the best of your academic prowess by being an Honors Student. Teachers that teach honors and AP mathematics, English, Physics, etc. are phenomenal, but kids in the regular level classes are not really cared for and they struggle to meet the mark. I feel that some of these kids aren't trying their best, and the teachers need to put their foot down a little more.

The school is overall fine i just think they need to better the lunch and give more freedom with students especially seniors like for example being able to leave and come back for lunch or even being able to eat in class if you´re not disturbing anyone.
