Pittsford Sutherland High School is a public high school in suburban Rochester, Monroe County, Upstate New York.
The school
One of two high schools in the town (the other being Pittsford Mendon High School) is located at 55 Sutherland Street (from which the school gets its name). Located in the historic Village of Pittsford, Pittsford Sutherland High School has consistently been ranked as one of the top 100 high schools in the nation according to an annual listing in Newsweek. In 2008, Pittsford Sutherland is in 61st place.
History
Pittsford Sutherland was built in 1957 to reduce strains on the Pittsford School building.
Reconstruction
In 2004, Pittsford Schools started a renovation project on all buildings in the district. Sutherland is in Phase II of this process, with the addition of a new auditorium, gymnasium, 16 new classrooms (2 of which are Physics only rooms) and commons area. In addition, Sutherland students got a new library which was constructed in the old auditorium space. Architects retained some of the features of the old auditorium such as the high ceiling and woodwork from the old stage. The new library opened in January 2007 and the old library was then converted into a Large Group Instruction Room (L.G.I.). Work finished in time for the class of 2012.
Awards and recognition
Pittsford Sutherland was ranked 75th in the country (a Gold Medal School) by U.S. News & World Report in its 2008 high school rankings.
Extracurriculars
Sutherland has a wide and diverse array of extracurricular activities open to the student body including several sports teams, Model United Nations, Political Advocates club, French Club, Desi Club, Fishing Club, National Honour Society, Interact Club, Drama Club, and regionally acclaimed drama and musical theatre productions in the fall and spring, respectively. The Sutherland Jazz Ensemble often performs at the nearby Rochester International Jazz Festival. The most known club, the Knightly News, is composed of kids who make short videos (skits and news) of the school.
