There were 70 students (25.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 12 (4.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

Constructed at a cost of $1.3 million (equivalent to $ million in), the school opened on September 10, 1962, with a dedication ceremony conducted on November 5 of that year. The school opened with 630 students in grades 7-12, replacing the former Atlantic Highlands High School. The district's first superintendent was Henry Schiable, who served in the position until 1969. In 2023 the voters of Atlantic Highlands School District and Highlands School District approved a proposal to consolidate into Henry Hudson, which would make it a PreK–12 school district. The consolidation is scheduled to be completed in July 2024. In 2024, a meeting between the three school district's boards of trustees stated that Sea Bright would have to re-establish its non-operating school district to join Henry Hudson, though there is no provision in New Jersey law to permit this. Students from Sea Bright attend the Oceanport School District for grades K-8 and Shore Regional High School for grades 9-12; both districts filed legal challenges opposing Sea Bright's efforts to end their sending relationship and join the consolidated K-12 Henry Hudson District. The New Jersey Department of Education classifies the district in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by socioeconomic characteristics. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.

The Henry Hudson Regional High School Admirals compete in Division B Central of the Shore Conference, an athletic conference comprised of public and private high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties along the Jersey Shore. The conference operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). With 150 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group I for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 75 to 476 students in that grade range. The school's co-op team with Keyport High School was classified by the NJSIAA as Group I South for football for 2024–2026, which included schools with 185 to 482 students. The school participates as the host school / lead agency for joint cooperative cross country running, boys / girls tennis and winter track teams with Keyport High School, while Keyport is the host school for girls soccer, boys / girls volleyball and wrestling teams. These co-op programs operate under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year. The softball team made it to the Group I state championship game in 2015, losing to Cedar Grove High School in the tournament finals.

The school's principal is Kevin McCarthy, principal.
