- Hendrick Hudson High School, nicknamed Hen Hud, is a public high school in Montrose, New York. It draws its students from the neighboring towns of Verplanck, Buchanan, Cortlandt Manor, Montrose, Peekskill, Crugers, and the village of Croton-Harmon.
- 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 Anecia Bell-Jefferson and Daniel Callahan.
- Academics
-
In the 2007 - 2008 school year, Hendrick Hudson High School offered 50 sections of 12 Advanced Placement courses in eight different subject areas[1]. 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.
- Sports
-
In 2006, the Hendrick Hudson Varsity volleyball team made school history when they won the Class A New York State championship.[2] One of their captains, Jessica Harris, was one of the 2006 Wendy's High School Heisman Award National Finalists. Lindsey Hock, a fellow co-captain on the varsity volleyball team, was named Journal News Player of the Year and was also named as a Con Edison Scholar Athlete.[3] The team also won the 2007 and 2008 Class B championships.
- Controversy
-
In November, 2007, an altercation between several students during school hours escalated into a cross being burned on a black student’s property. This incident is being treated as a hate crime by the police, and two young men have been arrested[4]. The cross-burning incident was said to have been started by a fight in school involving the sister of one of the alleged perpetrators. [5] The incident resulted in a community forum where the issues of tolerance and racial bias discussed.
- In June, 2007, several students were arrested after they entered the high school after school hours and taped alarm clocks to the walls. They intended the clocks to go off the next day, disrupting the last day of school. Police, however, were concerned that the clocks were bombs, and the students were charged with placing a false bomb. The charges were eventually dropped[6].
- In the 2005-2006 school year, an article in the North County News published allegations that Trooper Mario Velez, the School Resource Officer, mistreated and harassed students in the school. One example of this allegation came from a student, who said that Velez remarked that "'If you don't shut your mouth, then I'm going to (hit) you in the face." Following publication of the article, supporters came to trooper’s defense, and the officer was praised as a role model. Since then Trooper Velez has been removed from the high school's SRO program, and trooper Pugh is the current SRO of Hendrick Hudson. [7]
- In March 2000 Marci Stein, a special-education teacher, was found guilty of having sexual relations with three students. She was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in state prison. A jury convicted her of 10 criminal charges, including statutory rape, on Aug. 4.[8] In early 2005 the conviction was overturned and she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and been freed. She admitted in court that she had endangered a child and was sentenced to a year in jail, but was then released because of time served. An appellate court ruled that she had not received a fair trial because prosecutors did not tell the defense that two of the boys had filed notices to sue Ms. Stein's school district. That information was relevant to the students' credibility, the panel ruled.[9]

The school orchestra also made it through the mold under the direction of Mr. Michael Ambruster.
