Clifford J. Scott High School was a comprehensive community public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in the city of East Orange, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, operated as part of the East Orange School District.HistoryThe school was named for Dr. Clifford John Scott, who was appointed in 1921 as the district's superintendent until his death in 1936. Scott initiated a program of junior high schools in the district and a combined junior / senior high school was named for him when it was established in 1937.East Orange Campus High School was opened in 2002, resulting from the merging of the former Clifford Scott High School and East Orange High School, located in the largest building of the refurbished campus of Upsala College and has been expanded to accommodate increased demand for enrollment. As a result of the merger, students now have access to new and much improved educational facilities. The former Clifford Scott High School facility was home to East Orange Campus Nine High School, the home for all ninth grade high school students in East Orange. Announced in November 2010, East Orange Campus Nine was updated to become East Orange STEM Academy, which is a magnet school for grades 6-12.
