Several Renovations Approved For Mendham Schools

MENDHAM BOROUGH, NJ — Several construction projects have been approved to proceed in Mendham schools following voters’ approval of a January referendum.

With the referendum approved, the Mendham Borough School District can continue with a series of renovations across the district’s school buildings.

Mountain View Middle School, located at 100 Dean Road, will undergo upgrades to its science labs to “ensure learning environments are conducive for teaching and learning.”

The middle school will also install a security vestibule to increase school safety, similar to the vestibule at Hilltop Elementary School.

Additionally, Mountain View plans to replace “outdated” windows and rooftops, allowing more natural light in, boosting energy efficiency.

Mountain View School has also been approved to build a brand new auditorium. According to district officials, the new auditorium will create “an appropriate gathering place to support performing arts education, and expand related arts courses to include public speaking, performance, production, and technical areas.”

The auditorium will also be a welcome space for the public, while serving as a venue for graduations, talent showcases, and performances alike.

The middle school also intends to use the auditorium as a space for music classes.

Renovations are also approved for Hilltop Elementary School, located at 12 Hilltop Road. The school will be improving its library, or media center, in the summer of 2026. The upgrades will “reflect today’s collaborative learning environments and improve sight lines.”

The elementary school will also replace outdated lights, its roof, and its boiler to “boost energy efficiency and reduce costly repairs.”
