The federal Department of Education has chosen Sleepy Hollow High School as a model school in preventing students from dropping out.

Of the department’s six recommended practices, Sleepy Hollow is featured on three: Adult Advocates, Academic Supports and Social/Behavior Programs. The adult education program, the Humanities Team and the school’s approach to discipline are also highlighted in the study entitled Doing What Works.

Sleepy Hollow is the only school in New York State and one of only three schools nationally to be highlighted in the study.

Meanwhile, Sleepy Hollow High School is among the first schools in Westchester to partner with MSG Varsity, a Cablevision 24/7 network dedicated to high school sports and activities.

Through its partnership with MSG Varsity, available on channel 14, students and faculty at Sleepy Hollow High are being provided with access to curriculum and training in multimedia creation and distribution, allowing them to become active participants in telling their school’s stories.
