Nyack High School is a secondary school in Nyack, New York, which serves parts of Orangetown and Clarkstown, New York. The original Nyack High School building is now part of BOCES. Since 1990, Nyack High School has been located less than a mile north of the old facility, at the corner of Christian Herald Road and Highland Avenue-(U.S. Route 9W).
Nyack High School is the sole high school in the Nyack Union Free School District in New York. Students come to the high school from Nyack Middle School, which gathers students from Upper Nyack, Liberty, Hilltop (now closed) and Valley Cottage elementary schools.
The high school is known for its academic performance with 94 percent of seniors taking the SAT in 2004,[4] its football team, its theatrical productions and its music program.[5]
In 1972, one of its school buses was involved in an accident getting struck by a Penn Central freight train, which killed five students and injured 46.
