The Hasbrouck Heights School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro, in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3] The district serves students from Teterboro,[4] a non-operating district that was merged into the Hasbrouck Heights School District following its dissolution on July 1, 2010.[5]
