3. About the District
The Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District serves students from
Franklin Lakes, Oakland, and Wyckoff in a comprehensive, two-campus
setting. Students from the three communities may choose to attend either
Indian Hills High School or Ramapo High School for their four-year high school
experience. The district offers opportunities to support academic, social, and
emotional growth through a wide array of course offerings in the core content
areas as well as diverse electives. The instructional staff demonstrates
ongoing dedication and competence as they deliver a high quality, differentiated
program to address the needs of all learners. As a district, we have identified
the need to address the skills students will need as they move through the 21st
century. Targeted areas include creativity and innovation, critical thinking and
problem solving, communication and collaboration, and information, media and
technology. The Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District believes in
the necessity for preparing students to compete in a global world where a keen
awareness has been developed in the areas of economic and business literacy,
healthy living, civics, scientific and mathematical thinking, and language arts
literacy.
