      History


      The school district was established in 1938, after a referendum in which Chesilhurst, Clementon, Lindenwold, Pine Hill and Winslow Township voted to join and both Berlin Township and Waterford Township opted out. Lower Camden County Regional High School opened in October 1939, four months earlier than expected, with an enrollment of 700 students, after having been constructed at a cost of $575,000 (equivalent to $12.6 million in 2023), of which $258,000 was covered by a grant from the Public Works Administration. Prior to the school's opening, about a third of students had attended Hammonton High School. It served students from up to ten municipalities at one point. The population soon began to grow, however, and Edgewood Regional High School (now Winslow Township High School) was founded in Winslow Township. The original school took the name Overbrook Regional Senior High School in the 1950s, and joined its sister school Edgewood as part of the district.
      After further expansion of the school district, in 1969 the building was renamed Overbrook Regional Junior High School.
      Following the dissolution of the district, students from Waterford Township began attending Hammonton High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Hammonton Public Schools. Overbrook High School, part of the Pine Hill Schools, serves students from Pine Hill, with Berlin Township and Clementon participating in sending / receiving relationships. Lindenwold High School opened in September 2001 to serve students from the borough
