Hendrick Hudson High School, nicknamed Hen Hud, is a public high school in Montrose, New York, United States. It draws its students from the neighboring towns of Verplanck, Buchanan, Cortlandt Manor, Montrose, and Crugers, the village of Croton-on-Hudson, and the city of Peekskill.
There are approximately 900 students in Hendrick Hudson, averaging about 225 students per grade.
Administration
The principal of Hendrick Hudson is James L. Mackin, Jr. The assistant principals are Anthony Giovinazzi and Laura Nier.[1]
Academics
In the 2007-2008 school year, Hendrick Hudson High School offered 50 sections of 12 Advanced Placement courses in eight different subject areas. It also began offering a three-year science research course sequence to tenth graders through the State University of New York at Albany in the High School program. There are two college level language classes offered through Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA), in Italian and French.
In 2010, Hendrick Hudson High School introduced a new four-year engineering program through Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Since the 2011–2012 school year, a second four-year Project Lead the Way program has been offered in the biomedical sciences.[2]
Arts
Chorus
The choral program comprises three choruses: Concert Choir, an SATB group open to all Hen Hud students; Hen Hud Harmonizers, an audition-based SATB group; and a Treble Chorus, also known as the Treble Makers, an audition-based women's treble chorus. The Treble Makers won Best Overall Choir and Best Women's Chorus at the Music in the Parks festival in May 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2015. The Treble Chorus was invited to sing at the celebration in May 2009 commemorating the Aaron Copland House (which is located within the Hen Hud district[3]) as a National Historic Landmark.[4][5] The Treble Makers have recently been collaborating with British rock violinist Daisy Jopling, having performed with her and her band at the Paramount Center for the Arts[6] in Peekskill, New York,[7] as well as the Peter Norton Symphony Space in Manhattan.[8]
At the 2010 NYSSMA Majors Festival, both the Treble Chorus and the Concert Choir (a select SATB group) achieved Gold with Distinction ratings on their performances.[citation needed]
Drama
The Hendrick Hudson Starboard Stars Drama Club, in 2010, was nominated for six Metro Awards, and won for Outstanding Orchestra.[9]
Band
In 2005, 2007, and 2009 the Hendrick Hudson Wind Ensemble scored a Gold Rating in the annual NYSSMA majors festival under the direction of Joe Stamboni.[citation needed]
Sports
In 2006, the Hendrick Hudson Varsity volleyball team won the Class A New York State championship.[10] One of their captains, Jessica Harris, was one of the 2006 Wendy's High School Heisman Award National Finalists.[11] Lindsey Hock, a fellow co-captain on the varsity volleyball team, was named Journal News Player of the Year and a Con Edison Scholar Athlete. The team won the 2007 and 2008 Class B state championships.[12][13] In 2009, the volleyball team went to the State Tournament for the fifth consecutive year, and lost in the finals.
Honors and awards
The choral department has sent student musicians to the NYSSMA All-State Convention in Rochester, New York, where they have participated in either the Mixed or Women's Chorus. In 2009, three students were selected; in 2010, one student; and in 2011, three students.[14] All were members of the award-winning Treble Makers.
The Hendrick Hudson Speech and Debate team hosts the annual Malcolm A. Bump Memorial Tournament, one of the largest debate tournaments in New York state. In 2005, the team was rated 13th overall in the country.[15]
