History

Community High School was founded in 1968 in Demarest, New Jersey, and was a pioneer in teaching learning-disabled students. It became one of the largest programs in the region to provide for students in need of special education.

Westwood campus and fire

In 1990, the school relocated to Westwood, New Jersey, and moved into a former parochial school building that was affiliated with St. Andrew's Roman Catholic church that sat next door. Most students attended on tuition paid by the state, and the school bused in students from Northern New Jersey and New York City.

Shortly before 8:30 AM on March 13, 1998, a 17-year-old student from Manhattan set a fire in a second floor bathroom, which quickly spread through the building's open attic of the building, fanned by strong winds that day. The school was not required by law to have a sprinkler system as it was less than 70 feet. All students, teachers and administrators were safely evacuated and no one was harmed, but the school's 67-year-old main building burnt to the ground and supplies and equipment inside were destroyed, though books and materials in an adjoining wing that had been added on to the original structure survived the fire.[5][6] The school moved to its current location in Teaneck following the fire.

Athletics

As of the 2007 school year the coach of Community High School's boys' basketball team, had worked to build a cohesive team from a group of teens who struggle with attention deficit disorder, dyslexia and social delays.[7]
