PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT

What PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Parsippany-Troy Hills School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of New Jersey, serving the residents of Parsippany-Troy Hills township in Morris County. The district operates a network of schools comprising two high schools (Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School), two middle schools (Central Middle School and Brooklawn Middle School), and 11 elementary schools, providing free public education funded through local property taxes, state aid, and federal grants. The district's operational reach is extended through PACE Adult and Community Education, which offers fee-based preschool, SKIP before/after-school care, and Wide World of Summer camp programs registered via paceskip.com. A signature long-running program, Video on the Go, has been producing student-run educational television content since 1978 and broadcasts on Cablevision of Morris channel 21 with a potential reach of 350,000+ homes.

The district's technology footprint centers on a web-based communications stack: the official pthsd.k12.nj.us website is powered by Apptegy, the Genesis Parent Portal serves as the student information and parent communication system, and native iOS and Android applications extend mobile access. Community engagement is supported by social media presence on Facebook, X (Twitter), and YouTube, alongside email-based communications such as the Board Byte newsletter and the Digital Backpack announcement system. The district maintains partnerships with the Parsippany Education Foundation (PEF), Lakeland Hills Family YMCA, Parsippany PAL, Parsippany Public Library, Morris County 4-H, Morris County Sheriff's Office, Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey, Kiwanis Greater Parsippany, and Cablevision of Morris.

As a government entity, the district has no commercial revenue model; K-12 educational services are provided at no direct cost to district residents, while PACE community education programs generate modest fee-based revenue. Current leadership includes Superintendent Dr. Karen Chase, though the district is actively conducting a superintendent search with community forum participation, indicating an ongoing leadership transition. The district does not disclose headcount, financial figures, or budget data through its public channels.
