Hampton School began as Junction Academy, a one-room school in Well's Hall (site of the present Borough Hall).  In the 1890's a three-room schoolhouse was built in upper Main Street.  The name Junction Academy, later changed to Junction Public School.
 In 1900 there were fifteen students in the school.  Since six of them were graduates, a two-year high school was added.  In 1909, Junction became Hampton and a third year of high school was added.

The cornerstone for the present school was laid in 1912 and the building was completed at a cost of $30,000.  In 1915, it became a four year approved high school, in addition to grades K through 8.  In 1951, the last class graduated from Hampton High when North Hunterdon Regional became the regional high school.  During its 36 years, Hampton High School accepted students from Bethlehem Township, Glen Gardner, and Lebanon Township.  Today's Hampton graduates attend Voorhees High School, which was established in 1981.

In 1967, there were over 280 students in the school and a modern addition was added at the cost of $300,000.  This addition included more classrooms, offices, bathrooms, a staff lounge, and an all-purpose room.  Hampton Borough voters approved a $3.4 million referendum in December 2007.  The project included roof work, masonry restoration, window replacement, asbestos abatement, floor replacement, plumbing and electrical upgrades, interior renovations, and mechanical system replacement.  The Hampton Public School construction project represents the community's commitment to improving the educational environment of our students.
