Harry S. Truman High School is a public high school at 750 Baychester Avenue, in the Bronx, New York City, U.S.A. The school is designated as an Empowerment School by the New York City Department of Education, which allows it more autonomy in choosing a curriculum. Notable alumni include author Miles Marshall Lewis, Fox Broadcasting Company Entertainment Chairman Peter Liguori, BET host Big Tigger, former NBA player Rod Strickland, and former MLB player Stanley Jefferson.
Harry S. Truman High School is one of the remaining large High Schools in the Bronx that has not been broken up into a number of small schools. This trend which has been popular in New York City has seen South Bronx High School, Evander Childs High School as well as Roosevelt High School split into a number of mini schools that are still located in the same building.
Truman High is located in the Co-op City section of the Bronx, yet many of the students commute to school from areas as far away as the South Bronx. Geographically not a long distance, but commuting time for many students is over one hour each way.
The size of Truman High School (over 3000 students) does give it the benefit of having many sports programs and extracurricular activities.
