Hastings High School

What Hastings High School does

Hastings-On-Hudson Union Free School District is a public K-12 school district operating under New York State Education Law, serving families residing in the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson and part of the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York. The district operates three schools: Hillside Elementary School (K-4), Farragut Middle School (grades 5-8), and Hastings High School (grades 9-12). It is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education, currently led by President David Weinstein and Vice President Catherine DiMartino, with William S. McKersie, Ph.D. serving as Superintendent since 2021. The district reports that over 90% of graduates pursue higher education and over 75% of students participate in extracurricular activities.

The district's core educational offering centers on curriculum aligned to Next Generation Learning Standards, special education services, athletics, and theatre, all framed by the Portrait of a Hastings Learner (POHL) strategic framework, which defines six target student attributes: Bold, Collaborative, Empathetic, Empowered, Inquisitive, and Inventive. Technology infrastructure is commodity K-12 administrative tooling: Finalsite powers the district website and communications, eSchoolData Parent Portal handles grades and attendance, BoardDocs manages board governance, LocalLive streams athletics events, and Google Meet/Forms support community engagement. The district's technology-enabled learning environment includes district-provided devices and a Distraction-Free Schools pouch system compliant with NY State smartphone restrictions.

As a government entity, the district is funded through property taxes and New York State aid rather than commercial revenue, with operating budgets requiring voter approval. In June 2025, the community approved a Capital Bond for modernization of the Farragut Complex, mechanical/electrical/plumbing upgrades, and athletic field improvements. The district supplements its tax-base funding through tuition-based registration for non-resident families, PTSA/SEPTA fundraising, and grants from the Hastings Education Foundation. Partnerships include Triton Construction and LAN for the Capital Bond, the Tri-State Consortium for peer learning across 50+ districts, and various training providers for safety and crisis intervention.
