The first Watchung school, the Watchung Art Center.
This building was built in 1898. During the depression years, when more capacity was needed, the original building was raised and a lower floor with masonry walls was constructed beneath it. Later, a stairway was constructed in the rear and a sun-porch and an upstairs office area was added in the front of the building. Bathrooms were added later.
At one time the upstairs office served as a kindergarten room.
There were two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs that were connected by sliding doors. There were five teachers, one for kindergarten, one for each of the four rooms and those teachers taught two grades each.
Watchung Hills Regional High School serves students from Watchung, Warren and Green Brook in Somerset County and Long Hill Township in Morris County.
