The district originally also included Mount Olive Township, until that municipality voted to leave the regional system. Students from Mount Olive Township attended West Morris Central High School until 1972. West Morris Mount Olive High School, in Flanders, opened in 1972 and was operated by the regional district until the 1978-1979 school year. West Morris Mount Olive High School Class of 1978 was the last graduating class from this facility under the regional administration. The high school building and remaining faculty became part of the Mount Olive Township School District and is operated as Mount Olive High School.

The West Morris Regional High School District is a "limited purpose" district. This means that it does not operate as a K-12 school system. Instead, K-8 students of the constituent municipalities attend separate K-8 school districts maintained by four of the five municipalities. Chester Borough and Chester Township schools are consolidated under the Chester Township Public School District and the remaining three municipalities (Mendham Borough, Mendham Township and Washington Township) each constitute separate districts.

The District operates two grade 9-12 comprehensive high schools (with 2005-06 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics [ [http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_list.asp?Search=1&DistrictID=3417550 West Morris Regional High School District] , National Center for Education Statistics.
