Morrell Campus is a four-year public high school in Irvington, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, that serves students in grades 9 to 12, as part of the Irvington Public Schools.

A west wing of the building was erected in the 1980s, providing an extra ground of education for the growing crowd of over 2,000 enrolled students and faculty in hallway traffic.

As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,714 students and 116.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 14.8.
