History

Classes

Croton-Harmon High School is noted for its high testing scores, its science research, world language, and performing arts programs, university in the High School and Advanced Placement courses, and high graduation and college attendance rates.

The school offers the usual range of high school classes, as well as the following AP classes: Biology, Macroeconomics, Calculus AB and BC, Physics, Chemistry, Spanish Language, French Language, English Language, English Literature, Statistics, Studio Art, Environmental Science, World History, US History, and Advanced Placement Comparative Government and Politics.

Language classes include Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, and English as a Second Language (ESL). The school also offers a number of electives including music and art classes.

Honors courses are not offered. All ninth grade and tenth grade students are enrolled in Regents level English courses. Exceptional performance in these classes will place an honors ("H") merit on the student's transcript. Juniors and seniors have the option of enrolling in AP level English courses instead of taking further Regents level courses.

The high school also boasts a multi-year science research curriculum for students interested in pursuing STEM research. [2] The Science Research program gives students the opportunity to conduct graduate or college-level science research experiments under the guidance of a professional mentor. Students design their own research plan, carry out their research experiment, and write a professional research paper. [2]

Students can also obtain college credits for classes while in high school through The University in the High School (UHS) Program. [2] As a bridging experience to college, UHS courses can help students begin to develop the skills and experience necessary for academic success in higher education.

Lawsuits

2019 Title IX Lawsuit

As of 2019, Croton-Harmon High School has been the subject of an ongoing Title IX lawsuit. The suit stems from the 2016 sexual assault of a freshman at a house party by multiple Croton-Harmon High School students. The suit claims that the victim was extensively bullied for coming forward, that the student faced retaliatory grading by Croton-Harmon High School teachers, and the school did not comply with Title IX because it did not separate the victim from her attackers. The suit also claims that the school denied the victim's repeated requests to change school. [4]
