The Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering (AMSE) is a four-year magnet public high school program intended to prepare students for STEM careers. Housed on the campus of Morris Hills High School in Rockaway, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, it is a joint endeavor between the Morris County Vocational School District and the Morris Hills Regional District.

AMSE is one of 17 vocational academies under the Morris County Vocational School District, which administers the admissions process for prospective AMSE students. The program started in 2000 with an initial class size of 26, but in 2017, the class size was increased to 48 students.

As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 180 students.

As interest in traditional vocational subjects began to decrease in the 1990s, New Jersey's vocational school districts began to experiment with new programs that would cater to gifted students interested in careers in high technology and science. Hudson County's High Tech High School was founded in 1991, Bergen County Academies in 1992, and Union County Magnet School in 1997. Created as programs under New Jersey's Career and Technical Education legislation, the schools are overseen by the New Jersey Department of Education's Office of Career Readiness, which manages their standards, approval, and reapproval.

AMSE was first proposed to the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders (now the Board of County Commissioners) in November 1997 as the “Morris County Academy for Math, Science, and Engineering.” James DeWorken, Superintendent of the Morris County Vocational Board, asked the Freeholders for $5 million to build a new high-tech school on the campus of the County College of Morris in Randolph. Modeled after Monmouth County's High Technology High School, which had opened in 1991, the new program would open with 60 students, eventually expanding to 240, who would take up to 40 credits of college courses at the County College.

Although the County College supported the concept, the Freeholders raised concerns over the proposal's high cost, which, along with a number of other projects that had already been planned, would further accumulate debt and increase the burden on taxpayers. The Freeholders also noted worries that the program might simply be "a duplication of what [was] offered by other districts" and a lack of support from some district superintendents due to the increased competition that the new academy would bring.

DeWorken worked to gather support from district superintendents as well as local industry leaders and colleges. The Freeholders eventually approved a revised proposal in October 1999. Under the new plan, AMSE and three other academies were proposed again, but now as specialized programs within existing public high schools, effectively lowering their cost. The Superintendent of the Morris Hills Regional High School District at the time, James McNasby, helped bring AMSE to Morris Hills High School. The school's old vocational building was replaced using $1.4 million of county funds. The new building (named the “Dr. James J. McNasby Technology Center” in honor of the superintendent) serves as the home of the academy. The academy opened its doors to 24 students on September 5, 2000, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on October 11, 2000.

Beginning with the class of 2021, the academy class size was increased from 26 to 48 students. In a statement to the Hilltopper, the Morris Hills student newspaper, Academy Director Cheryl Giordano described the rationale behind the school's expansion, saying “We were turning away extremely talented students who had a passion for STEM and wanted to be in a program that helped nurture their interests.”
