Union Catholic Regional High School is a private Catholic high school located in Scotch Plains, in Union County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Its motto promises to provide a "quality education in a faith-based environment." Founded in 1962 as separate schools for boys and girls, each with its own separate administration and faculty, it has been coeducational since a merger of the two schools in 1980.[8] The school is an active participant in the Anytime/Anywhere learning program. Students from three counties attend the school. The school operates under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Newark.[9]
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 588 students and 56.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1. The school's student body was 59.0% (347) White, 16.8% (99) Black, 12.4% (73) Hispanic, 7.3% (43) two or more races, 4.3% (25) Asian and 0.2% (1) Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander.[7]
The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since November 1969; the school's accreditation expires in May 2023.[3]
