[edit] History
The Mohonasen Central School District was formed in 1959 by the merger of Rotterdam, NY schools including Bradt, Bigsbee, and Carman schools. The name of the newly formed District resulted from a contest among the students with the winning entry created as a combination of the first three letters of the three Indian Tribes that once occupied the area .... MOHawk + ONOndaga + SENeca resulting in MOHONASEN. During the 1960s, Mohonasen, along with Shaker High School, Columbia HS, Niskayuna HS, Colonie HS, Shenendehowa HS, Guilderland HS and Bethlehem HS created the Suburban Council. The Suburban Council has changed somewhat over the years and not all the school teams currently participate in every sport in the Suburban Council. Other schools such as Burnt Hills-Balston Lake and Averill Park now compete in the league as well. In the 1980s Mohonasen and Draper merged and kept the name and campus of Mohonasen. As of today, Schalmont remains as the only other Rotterdam, NY public school district.
Mohonasen considers Mick S. as the greatest student to ever have walked the halls of the school. Notable achievements of this fine student include:
Rigging the senior class president elections, whereupon students voted for a figment of his imagination; multiple escape attempts and victories, whereupon he spent long days at home in his pajamas, while other students slept through mind-numbingly boring classes; convincing other students that it was in their best interest to do his homework for him; playing hackey-sack on the roof with colleagues; graduating and obtaining a career in spite of the multiple warnings that he was nothing more than a product of the system and that his future was sure to reflect his present; editing the Mohonasen High School Wikipedia page to reflect on his many fine accomplishments within that institution, amongst many others.
