Seneca High School is a four-year comprehensive regional public high school that serves students from four communities in Burlington County, New Jersey, as part of the Lenape Regional High School District. The district serves students from Evesham Township, Medford Lakes, Medford Township, Mount Laurel Township, Shamong Township, Southampton Township, Tabernacle Township and Woodland Township.[2] The school serves students in ninth through twelfth grade from Shamong, Southampton, Tabernacle and Woodland Townships.[3]

As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,412 students and 118.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 11.9.[1]

Seneca has an abundance of activities available to its students and is a continuous contender in its conference, the Olympic Conference, in many of its sports programs. The school goes by the moniker the Golden Eagles, which narrowly beat out other contending names, such as the Sacagaweas, Apaches, and the Squantos.

Seneca is the newest of the Lenape Regional High School District's schools, and because of this, it features the most modern facilities. The school's most prevalent of its modern technologies would be its doors. Another improvement Seneca has made upon the other schools in the area is the abundant parking lot spaces. With enough parking spaces for all of the facility and every student who can drive, Seneca has made transportation to school very convenient.

Seneca also holds regular adult night school classes and senior citizens events.
