Shenendehowa High School
Shenendehowa High School is a public high school located in Clifton Park, New York, part of New York's Capital Region. It is part of the Shenendehowa Central School District [1] and serves the district's 9th through 12th graders. Students are divided between two buildings (East and West) by their grade level. Both buildings are located on the district's main campus off of NY 146. The recently expanded East building houses 10th through 12th graders, while the West building houses only 9th graders. It is the largest public school district in a suburban area in New York State. [2]
The original high school was built in the early 1950s.[2]
