About

We are a mid-sized High School with a small school feel. With our small learning communities, students have access to a wide range of courses while still receiving the individualized support needed to thrive. These small learning communities represent three distinct pathways: Medicine, Digital Technology, and Maritime and Sustainability. Our Medicine Pathway prepares students for careers in the medical field, with the ability to graduate as a Certified Medical Assistant. As a part of our Digital Technology Pathway, students will take courses in Computer Programming and Cybersecurity in which they can earn highly desirable certifications and credentials recognized in the industry. Our Maritime and Sustainability Pathway prepares students for the growing green jobs industry as well as the many opportunities aboard vessels throughout NY Harbor. We also strongly believe in a well-rounded education for all of our students and are committed to comprehensive Arts programming for all of our students. During their time here at SPHS, students will take courses in 2D Art, 3D Art, Media Arts, Craft Arts, Dance, and Music.

Art
Students take a three-year, six-credit sequence in the arts that includes visual arts, dance, instrumental music and multi-media art. Students switch teachers at the end of the each semester to have a greater appreciation for the multidisciplinary array of the arts that our teachers offer. Ninth graders spend one semester taking 2-D art, which includes drawing, painting, and print-making, and one semester of 3-D design which includes clay and mixed materials. Tenth graders take one semester of dance and one semester of music. Eleventh graders take one semester of digital arts which includes animation and photo-editing and one semester of craft arts where they create usable objects out of textiles and learn how to sew. We offer a variety of elective arts classes that students take three times a week, including advanced music, advanced painting, ceramics (complete with a kiln and wheels), graphic design, comic book arts, ballet, and more. Students in the afterschool programs can audition for visual arts, dance, choral and theater troupes. Students can also join one of the many arts clubs we offer such as Makers Club (woodworking, 3D printing), filmmaking with local professionals, and photography club led by our librarian. We also offer many STEAM-related activities that involve arts in an interdisciplinary context. Our community partner Center for Family Life offers immersive workshops in art, music, dance, and theater, which culminate in a student-led theater production at the end of May.
