Merchantville High School was a four-year public high school that operated from 1929 until 1972 in Merchantville, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Merchantville School District.
The school, which opened in 1929, served students from Merchantville and from the neighboring communities of Cherry Hill and Pennsauken Township, as well as Maple Shade Township in Burlington County.[1]
Students from Pennsauken Township left the high school with the opening of Pennsauken High School in September 1959.[2]
With the loss of Maple Shade students to the new Maple Shade High School in 1972, Merchantville closed its high school after the end of the 1971–72 school year and started sending its students to Pennsauken High School for grades nine through twelve.[3][4]
