Pompton Lakes High School is a place where students acquire those habits of mind that lead them to be lifelong learners; where they learn to value themselves and their role in society; where teachers, students, parents, support staff, and administrators treat one another with respect and caring; and where all work collectively to create a school where pride and tradition prevail.

The mission of Pompton Lakes High School is to inspire a passion for learning and develop the essential skills to excel beyond high school, whether in employment, enlistment, or enrollment.
