Eastchester High School is located in Westchester County, New York in the town of Eastchester. A part of the Eastchester Union Free School District, it is a former U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon school[2] with approximately 1009 students. Graduates have gained acceptance to schools such as Bucknell University, Johns Hopkins University, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, Cornell University, Notre Dame, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University, New York University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Harvard University, Columbia University, and Stanford University.[3] Eastchester High School is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
A junior high school was added to the High School in 1955, and two years later another wing was constructed to make up what is now known as Eastchester Middle School. The original gym and an auditorium were built at the High School in 1932, and a second gym was opened there in 1985.[4]
Eastchester High School received a major infrastructure overhaul with the passage of a $27 million-dollar bond vote in 2015.[5] Among the additions were a new STEM wing, two computer labs, and an expanded cafeteria to reduce congestion of the rapidly growing student body.[6]
During Summer 2023, Eastchester High School had received extra parking spots in front of the high school entrance. Similarly, construction of an overhang for the main entrance and an extra entrance started around the same time and are currently under construction.
In January 2024, Eastchester High School had replaced their school signs with newly-installed digital message boards which display current events, the time, and temperature.[7]
Eastchester offers 18 AP classes as well as several courses for college credit in conjunction with colleges in New York State.[8] Students who graduate from Eastchester Senior High School graduate with a New York State Regents Diploma. A student must pass 4[9] New York State Regents Exams to be eligible to graduate from Eastchester Senior High School. The 4 Regents Exams must be 1 in English Language Arts, 1 in Mathematics, 1 in Science, and 1 in Social Studies. A student must also pass 1 pathway. Upon successful passing of the 4 Regents Exams, 1 pathway, and 22 credit units a student is eligible for a Regents or Local Diploma. Alternative pathways are allowed but they must be pre-approved.
Eastchester Senior High School is for students who are in 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and is the only high school as part of the Eastchester Union Free School District. The high school is connected to the middle school which hosts students in grades 6 through 8.[citation needed]
