Ossining High School

This is an accepted version of this page Ossining High School (OHS) is a comprehensive public high school located in Ossining, New York, United States, along the Hudson River in northern Westchester County, New York.

[3] The present Ossining High School building was designed by James Gamble Rogers in a Collegiate Gothic style, with a warm-toned blend of brick and stone.

[8][9] The district that operates the high school includes sections of the towns of Ossining and New Castle.

The award recognizes K-12 schools that "provide a rich, rigorous science or mathematics curriculum by incorporating hands-on investigative experiences that prepare students for future jobs."

[24] A notable SUNY class offered is "SUNY Racism, Classism, and Sexism," started in 2005 with the intention of drawing more nonwhite students to advanced courses; it has achieved success in doing so, although more rigorous AP classes are still disproportionately White.

[9][25] The school also offers 14 Advanced Placement classes, which include AP English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Spanish Language and Culture, Studio Art levels 1 and 2, U.S. History, U.S. Government and Politics, World History, Biology, Environmental Science, Calculus AB and BC, Computer Science, and Statistics.

[22] The school offers specialized vocational education instruction through the Putnam/Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (PNW BOCES) in Yorktown Heights, New York; interested eleventh- and twelfth-graders can complete some vocational courses for high school credit within a two-hour class at the BOCES Tech Center.

Twelve years later it had 90 students, with Piccirillo and a second teacher, Valerie Holmes, working on the science research full-time.

The program includes guidance on research topics, mentors, and help with writing papers and presenting them.

However, sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are on varsity teams are exempt from PE class while the sport is in season.

Currently in 2024, Ossining has put in efforts to reach an agreement on a new mascot with the student body and community population.

In its early stages, it is still unknown when an agreement of a new mascot that is majorly accepted by the students and community will come to fruition.
