Croton Harmon High School on State's Reward School List

High-performing students are the reason.

For the third consecutive year, the New York State Education Department has named Croton-Harmon High School a Reward School.

Recognized for its commitment to academic excellence, CHHS was given this designation based on its high-performing students.

In a letter to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Edward R. Fuhrman Jr., NYSED Assistant Commissioner Ira Schwartz wrote, “We applaud your efforts and look forward to assisting your district in having all of its students achieve college and career-ready standards.”
