Auditorium

In the 1992-93 school year, Mechanicville High School opened the Paul Luther Memorial Auditorium.[1] This facility seats 750 people.

2003 Expansion

Mechanicville High School opened a new gymnasium and a new library media center in the winter of 2003. During this time, a new chemistry and physics science lab was also built. The state-of-the-art lab allows students who take chemistry and physics the opportunity to participate in all the lab requirements mandated by the New York State Regents, as well as those recommended by various colleges and universities. This allows the students to gain valuable experience that will help them be successful at the college level.
