History By a 60%-40% margin, voters approved a February 1973 referendum that allocated $5.7 million (equivalent to $ million in ) towards the cost of construction of the new high school facility. In August 1974, the Newton Public School District was notified that students from the five constituent districts who had attended Newton High School as part of sending/receiving relationships would be leaving the high school. Enrollment in the Newton district dropped by 400 following the departure of the districts sending to Kittatinny. The Kittatinny regional district opened its high school to students in September 1975.
