- History
-
American Studies was designed as a small school for about four hundred students. It was created in 2002 along with Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, and the High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College. (New York City previously had three specialized high schools, Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Science, and Stuyvesant, besides LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts. The three new schools were created to provide more opportunities for students beyond the previous three specialized high schools.) [1]
- When it was created in 2002, American Studies occupied one corridor in the APEX, Lehman College's gymnasium. In 2003 the school moved to its current location, Lehman's Reservoir Building.
- Founding Principal Myra Luftman retired shortly after the High School of American Studies at Lehman College graduated its first senior class on June 26, 2006, and was succeeded by the current principal, Alessandro Weiss.
- 2008 - 2009
-
In 2008, American Studies was awarded a Gold Medal for Best Public High School from U.S News and World Report. The school was ranked #29, beating their rival school Bronx High School of Science and placing second in New York State. Fellow specialized high school Stuyvesant High School ranked at #23.
