Please find the link to the schedule for the Class of 2020 photo op below. Remember to arrive ten minutes before your scheduled appointment. Students and two immediate family members are required to wear face coverings.
All students registered for AP Biology for 2020-2021 should check their school email for information about their summer work. Any students who register after 6/2/20 should contact hlijoi@nyackschools.org for information.
Our 2020 Budget Newsletter, "Budget Matters", will be mailed out to all residents after Memorial Day. It will feature the budget fast facts, budget goals & key initiatives, trustee election information, as well as highlights and achievements presented to the school community with pride. This year we are trying something new by providing QR codes that will link residents and readers directly to some of the work presented by our students and staff.
In addition to the newsletter, all qualified voters will receive an absentee ballot via first class mail that should be used this year in lieu of in-person voting. The newsletter, containing information to help voters make an informed decision regarding the budget vote and trustee election, will be mailed around the same time as the absentee ballot. Absentee ballots will be mailed with a self-stamped envelope and must be filled out and sent back to the school district by June 9th at 5:00pm. In a 4th and final mailing relating the the budget, residents will receive the Budget Notice, which is a grid of the tax information, after the June 1 BOE Budget Hearing. The budget vote and BOE election, done via absentee ballot, will be counted and then verified starting at 5pm on June 1.
Questions or concerns regarding the school budget or trustee election can be directed to our District Clerk, Linda DeCicco, at ldecicco@nyackschools.org.

Hello Nyack High School Students, Families, Alumni, and Staff members:
While focusing on academics at Nyack High School, we believe in educating the whole child. As you review the 2019-2020 Program of Studies, various class pages, athletic news, schedules, and other helpful information, you will notice that we offer many opportunities for student engagement beyond the classroom door. Our rigorous academic program, combined with co-curricular opportunities, a comprehensive performing arts program, and numerous athletic teams are meant to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of each of our students.
You will also find that Nyack High School is a unified team with students and staff working together toward common goals. We strive to reach our fullest potential as individuals and as one collective learning community. We understand the world is ever changing, and we work diligently to further develop our understanding of what needs to be mastered to successfully compete in a global society. Together, we work to strengthen our skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity in an effort to keep up with the demands of the 21st Century.
Please enjoy our website and contact us if you have a question, comment, or concern.
