FOOTBALL has been an inter-school sport at Amboy High since 1907. Traditions and FORMER HOME of our high school was No. 4 School, outer Smith Street. Our building, which marked the sixtieth anniversary of its dedication on May 25, 1960, served as the first permanent home for secondary education in this city.

Classes continued to be held there until 1896, and then at No. 4 School from 1896 to the opening of the Perth Amboy High School.

Pupils studied algebra, chemistry, physics, orthography, music, drawing, advanced bookkeeping, English grammar and literature, and Latin and Greek. But physical improvements and curriculum changes were constantly necessitated by increasing enrollment. A wing added to the south side of the building in 1911 housed science laboratories, and commercial and domestic science classrooms. Almost simultaneously, Greek and the old classical course were dropped, and a broader curriculum, consisting of the Latin scientific course, the general course, and the business course, was put into effect.
