Somerset County Vocational and Technical High School

The Somerset County Vocational and Technical High School (SCVTHS) is a fully accredited, four-year vocational public high school located on an 80 acre campus in Bridgewater Township, in Somerset County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school is part of the Somerset County Vocational and Technical School District, which serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from all of Somerset County. The school offers over 20 different programs, on both a full-time and part-time basis, that combine training in occupational and academic skills.

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 343 students and 59.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 5.8:1. There were 34 students (9.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 6 (1.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

Full-time students earn both a high school diploma and a vocational certificate in their specific specialty area.

Starting with the 2009-10 school year, full-time students have a college track option for their academic classes.

Gifted and Talented Performing Arts Program
Somerset Vo-Tech offers a rigorous performing arts program that divides into two branches: Acting and Acting with Vocal Music. All Theater Arts Majors at SCVTHS are taught by the guidelines of Sanford Meisner. The program is very competitive as it is known to only hold about 50 students (grades 9-12) total. The Theater Department produces one main-stage production each year in the fall.

Academy for Health and Medical Sciences
The Academy for Health and Medical Sciences is a program offered as a "school within a school" as a partnership between the high school and Raritan Valley Community College. In this program, students earn up to 64 college credits from the college, graduating with a high school diploma from SCVTHS as well as an associate's degree from the college.

Athletics
The Somerset County Vo-Tech Jaguars compete independently with interscholastic sports operating under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). With 372 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group I for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 75 to 476 students in that grade range.
