About MSD

Proud of Our Past, Poised for the Future

The Morris School District is the only school district in NJ to have been created by a court order, which mandated the merging of Morristown and township schools to promote racial integration.  The community embraced this vision and, throughout our nearly 50-year history as a district, has worked hard to maintain it.  Parents, teachers, administrators, board members, alumni, community leaders, and students alike are deeply committed to protecting and perpetuating the unique legacy of the Morris School District.  We continue to build a healthy community, move toward greater equity and inclusion, diminish achievement gaps, and raise the bar for educational excellence precisely because the fundamental values that underlie the district’s enduring aspirations are shared values.
