Seneca High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Burlington County, New Jersey that operates as part of the Lenape Regional High School District. The district serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Shamong Township, Southampton Township, Tabernacle Township and Woodland Township.

Seneca is the newest of the Lenape Regional High School District's four high schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 2008. As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,026 students and 101.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.2:1. There were 89 students (8.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 31 (3.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. History Approved by voters in 1997 as the district's fourth high school, the Seneca High School was expected to be completed by 2000, to be constructed on a site designed to accommodate an enrollment of 2,000. The school opened in September 2003 with 860 students from Shamong, Southampton, Tabernacle and Woodland Townships and was completed at a cost of $45.7 million (equivalent to $ million in ). Delays caused by lawsuits related to the building site in the Pinelands resulted in budget overruns of $8.7 million. The school's name had been chosen by the district in December 2000 to carry on the practice of assigning the schools Native American names, with Seneca being selected based on its traditional presence in the area. The nickname "Golden Eagles" was selected from a number of alternatives based on animals, rather than choosing a nickname related to Native Americans as had been done with the district's three other schools. The school's opening allowed the enrollment level at Lenape High School and Shawnee High School to drop, helping alleviate the crowding the schools had faced. Based on the number of students who chose to switch to Seneca, there would be 150 students in 2005 in the school's first graduating class.
