Eastchester High School

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 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. Eastchester High School is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. History Original Buildings 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. In late 2017, a fringe group of students started a "freedom fighting" group known as "EHS Revolution". Their main agenda was to grant students more rights in the form of a student's union, and improve the hostile relations between the students and staff. Despite quickly gaining support for this movement, they ultimately ended up fading into obscurity as the school cracked down on the protests. Expansion Eastchester High School received a major infrastructure overhaul with the passage of a $27 million-dollar bond vote in 2015. Among the additions were a new STEM wing, two computer labs, and an expanded cafeteria to reduce congestion of the rapidly growing student body.
