PSAA Preview

Since the fall of 1973, our school has been a member of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. In 44 years in NYSPHSAA, our teams won 170 team titles, nearly 200 individual championships, and countless individual honors. However, a new transfer rule from the state, instituted in 2017-18, threatened not just our ability to compete athletically, but to attract students to our school.

As a result, we are moving to the Private Schools Athletic Association (PSAA) for the 2018-19 school year. The change allows us to cast a new vision for the program and we are excited about the days ahead. In anticipation of the change, here is a preview of our new affiliation.
