Scarsdale High School is a public high school in Scarsdale, New York and was founded in 1917. Over 1500 students attend SHS and use its facilities. Principal John Klemme talks about SHS in his letter available online.

“Scarsdale High School enjoys a national reputation as one of America’s finest high schools. The richness of our curriculum, the preparation of our faculty, the achievement of our students at levels well above national averages on standardized tests, and the record of college admissions at the nation’s leading universities confirm a pattern of excellence. Education in Scarsdale has historically been the focus of our community, and the combination of highly motivated students, supportive parents, a talented faculty, and appropriate financial resources suggest that Scarsdale High School is a model of what quality public education can be."[2]

SHS offers a multitude of clubs including the school papers Maroon & Cutting Edge, the yearbook Bandersnatch and literary magazine Jabberwocky, and much more. The High School Carnival occurs on school grounds in the spring of every year, and rides and games attract the entire town.

The high school is situated in one of the wealthiest suburbs in the country, home to many high-powered individuals.
