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.

#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).
