Greeley
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Greeley High School is a public, four-year secondary school located in Chappaqua, New York and serving the Chappaqua Central School District. As of 2003, the school principal is Andrew Selesnick. The school's enrollment stands at roughly 1,300. Horace Greeley is nationally respected for its high academic standards. It currently offers 23 advanced placement courses and came in at 42 in Newsweek's 2005 ranking of America's best high schools.
The high school is also a regional, and in some cases national, powerhouse in several extracurricular programs. Its quiz bowl team won the National Academic Championship in 2003, and placed among the top six teams at the national tournament in five of the six years between 2000 and 2005. The Greeley Debate Team has been successful at many regional tournaments as well as national tournaments, and has sent debaters to States every year since its inception in 2002. The Science Olympiad and Model United Nations teams have also won numerous accolades, as have the newspapers and yearbook.
The sports are also popular on campus and among the diverse offerings are varsity programs in baseball, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, field hockey, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and cross country, volleyball, and wrestling. Though Greeley football has made many long post-season runs, the town's titles lay with the cross country team.
The mission of Greeley High School is to provide their students with opportunities to obtain the skills needed to become productive, responsible citizens, capable of making positive contributions to a changing society.
