About

Herbert H. Lehman High School is committed to challenging, engaging and developing the minds of all of our students. College and career support begins in the 9th grade with PSAT/SAT preparation, college visits and scholarship opportunities. Students can challenge themselves by enrolling in honors courses, Advanced Placement (AP), SUNY and College Now courses. Additionally, we offer courses for those interested in STEM fields (i.e. engineering) and research experiences, computer science/coding/cybersecurity and traditional/digital arts. Lehman also offers extensive opportunities to participate in clubs, sports, community service, internships, regents preparation and after school tutoring. Students attending our school are eligible to apply to the Bronx STEAM Center. Students accepted to Bronx STEAM will spend a portion of their school day and at least two years engaging in high quality Career and Technical Education classes at the Bronx STEAM Center in one of six career pathways aligned to critical sectors such as healthcare and technology. With support across our school and the Bronx STEAM Center, students will earn early college credit, industry credentials, participate in paid work experiences and receive personalized advising to graduate onto higher education and/or employment in family sustaining careers.
