Port Chester High School is a public high school in Port Chester, New York. It is the senior high school of the Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District and its principal is Mitchell Combs. The school is ranked #134 in the state and #1481 in the United States, according to U.S. News & World Report's 2018 "Best High Schools" rankings.[2]
The school was founded in 1929. The building, on the former grounds of a country club, was designed by Tooker & Marsh in "Harvard" style with a prominent clock tower, and completed in 1932. As constructed, it contained 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) of space including a 94 by 72 feet (29 m × 22 m) gymnasium, a 1250-seat auditorium, 38 classrooms, two study halls, four shops, and a model apartment for homemaking classes. The building had radio equipment and an electric fire alarm system, and all its clocks were synchronized to an electric master clock.[3]
The district (and therefore the high school's attendance boundary) is located within portions of the Town of Rye. All of Port Chester is in the district.[4] About 30% of the village of Rye Brook is in the district, and the remainder is in the Blind Brook School District.[5]
The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma in addition to Advanced Placement and college-level courses.[6]
Port Chester High School competes in Section 1 of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.[7] The school has teams in football, soccer, volleyball, cross country running, cheerleading, tennis, swimming, basketball, wrestling, indoor track, bowling, baseball, softball, track & field, and golf.[8]
