Announcements/Events

The High School of American Studies (HSAS) is a specialized public school that emphasizes the study of American history and offers students an academic program that is both well-rounded and challenging. Through our collaboration with Lehman College , students have access to its campus library and athletic facilities, and take actual college classes and seminars in their junior and senior years. Supported by the Gilder - Lehrman Institute, students gain first-hand knowledge of the key events in American history through trips to sites and cities of historic importance and through participation in special seminars with guest speakers. With a small student body of under 400 pupils, it is possible to get the kind of individualized attention often not found in a typical large New York Ctiy school. Despite the smallness of the school, the course offerings remain diverse: the school offers advanced coursework in mathematics, science, literature, foreign languages, and the arts. In all of our endeavors, we seek to encourage in our students a love for learning and an inquisitive spirit.

School News

(posted 5/22/09)

#29!!!!!
We are delighted to inform you that, once again, our school has been included on the list of the 100 best high schools in the nation, as compiled by US News and World Report.

This year, we are the second-highest ranked school in all of New York State. Stuyvesant High School was ranked #23, and we were ranked #29. The ranking is based in large part on the AP Exam results of our students.

Thank you so much for your continued support of our school! We certainly couldn't have achieved this without you.

We are working hard to become a green school!
Thanks to the vigorous efforts of our Recyling Coordinators Sangeetha Rajeev and Nazifa Rahman, all classrooms contain three containers: one for garbage, the second for cans and bottles, and the third for paper products. There is also a battery disposal near the trophy case in the hallway. Last, but not least, a new container has been set up for the disposal of print cartridges, cell phones, and other electronic waste. This last container has been set up the PTA, and the more collected in this bin, the more money that is raised by the school.

Student Government News:

The second dance was a great success. This was a semi-formal dance that attracted a good percentage of our students. What's next? Stay tuned. Kudos to the student government for putting on a great student talent show (view some clips).
