Description
In 1992, the High School for Environmental Studies opened its doors to 150 freshmen in response to a growing consciousness of environmental issues, and in anticipation of a rapidly expanding field of environmental professions. It was created to become a model in urban environmental education and an exemplary high school overall, by promoting environmentally literate citizenry in a rigorous college preparatory program. Even today, while educating of over 1,500 students (grades 9-12), HSES holds tightly to those initiatives. Attendance rates and test scores in the school continue to exceed expectations. As a result, it has been recognized for excellence in education in numerous forums. The Manhattan Superintendent recognized HSES as a demonstration site for school standards and professional development, as well as a school-to-career consortium member. Perhaps the most telling indicator of the school's success is that the number of applicants has grown tenfold over the years.
