The school was established in 1904 as a manual training school for boys, hosting 155 students and 12 teachers. In 1907, it moved from its original location at 225 East 23rd Street to a building designed by C. B. J. Snyder at 345 East 15th Street, where it remained for 85 years. Its reputation for excellence in math and science continued to grow, and enrollment was restricted based on scholastic achievement starting in 1919.[7] A blacksmith is a traditional trade. ... 23rd Street runs from river to river across Manhattan, carrying two-way traffic. ...

In the 1930s, entrance examinations were implemented, making admission to the school even more competitive. During the 1950s, the building underwent a $2 million renovation to update its classrooms, shops, libraries and cafeterias.[9]


In 1956, a team of six students designed and began construction of a cyclotron. The team was headed by Martin Gersten and included John Sutherland, Charles Abzug and Robert Rudko. The faculty advisor was Mr. Abraham Kerner of the Chemistry Department. By 1962, a low-power test of the device succeeded. Matt Deming '62 remembered that a later attempt at full-power operation "tanked the electrical system for the building and surrounding area".[10][11] A pair of Dee electrodes with loops of coolant pipes on their surface at the Lawrence Hall of Science. ...

In 1972, Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Science, Stuyvesant, and The High School of Music & Art (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts) were chosen by the New York State Legislature as specialized high schools of New York City. The act called for a uniform exam to be administered for admission to Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Science and Stuyvesant High School. The exam, named the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT), tested students in math and verbal abilities. Admission to LaGuardia High School is by audition rather than examination, in keeping with its artistic mission.[12] The High School of Music & Art in Manhattan, New York City was started in 1936 by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, an event he described as “the most hopeful accomplishment” of his administration[1]. In 1984 Music & Art and its sister school, the School of Performing Arts High School, were merged... Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, also officially known as H.S. 485 and informally as LaGuardia Arts, is located near the Juilliard School in the Lincoln Center district of Manhattan, on Amsterdam Avenue between 65th Street and 64th Street. ...

Stuyvesant and 9/11

Stuyvesant is a quarter-mile (approx. 400 m) or a 5-minute walk from the former site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001. The school was evacuated during the attack. Although the smoke cloud coming from the World Trade Center engulfed the building at one point, there was no structural damage to the building, and nobody who was in the building was physically injured.[citation needed] When classes resumed on September 21, students were moved to Brooklyn Technical High School while the Stuyvesant building served as a base of operations for rescue and recovery workers. This caused serious congestion at Brooklyn Tech, and required the students to attend in two shifts. Normal classes resumed three weeks later on October 9. “Miles” redirects here. ...

Because Stuyvesant was close to Ground Zero, there were concerns of asbestos exposure. The US EPA indicated at that time that Stuyvesant was safe from asbestos, and conducted a thorough cleaning of the Stuyvesant building, but the Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association has contested that the assessment is inaccurate.[13] Some problems, including former teacher Mark Bodenheimer's respiratory problems, have been reported—he accepted a transfer to The Bronx High School of Science after having difficulty continuing his work at Stuyvesant. Other isolated cases include Stuyvesant's 2002 Class President Amit Friedlander, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, who received local press coverage in September 2006 after he was diagnosed with cancer.[14] While there have been other cases linked to the same dust cloud that emanated from ground zero, a spot precariously close to Stuyvesant [15], there is no definitive evidence that such cases have directly affected the Stuyvesant community. Stuyvesant students did spend a full year in the building before the theater and air systems were cleaned, however, and a group of Stuyvesant alumni is currently lobbying for health insurance as a result.[14] Image File history File links The Stuyvesant Spectators 9-11 cover This is the cover of http://www. ...

In the months after 9/11, Annie Thoms, an English teacher at Stuyvesant, a 1993 alumna, and the theater adviser at the time, suggested that the students take accounts of staff and students' reactions during and after 9/11 and turn them into a series of monologues. Thoms then published these monologues as With Their Eyes: September 11th – The View from a High School at Ground Zero (ISBN 0-06-051718-2). Alexander Epstein of The Stuyvesant Standard,[26] an independent newspaper serving the school's community, contributed the section Out of the Blue to the book At Ground Zero: Young Reporters Who Were There Tell Their Stories (ISBN 1-56025-427-0).


Enrollment

Stuyvesant has a total enrollment of about 3,100 and is open to residents of New York City entering either ninth or tenth grade. Enrollment is based solely on performance on the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT).[27] The list of schools using the SHSAT has since grown to include all of New York's specialized high schools except LaGuardia High School, where entry is by audition rather than examination. The test score necessary for admission to Stuyvesant has consistently been higher than that needed for admission to the other schools using the test.[28] Admission is currently based on an individual's score on the examination and his or her pre-submitted ranking of Stuyvesant among the other specialized schools. Each year, about 28,000 of New York City's 90,000 eighth-graders sit for the test. Only about 850 applicants are offered admission to Stuyvesant. Ninth and rising tenth graders are also eligible to take the test for enrollment, though far fewer students are admitted this way.

By the 1980s, the East 15th Street building was no longer a quality educational facility by modern standards. The five-story building was also overwhelmed by the several thousand students. So The New York City Board of Education secured an agreement with the Battery Park City Authority for a new building, and construction began in 1989. The new ten-floor building, located near lower Manhattan's financial district, cost about $148 million and included 65 classrooms, about 450 computers on 13 networks, 7 pairs of escalators, various indoor sporting facilities including two gymnasiums and a pool built to Public Schools Athletic League standards, a theater with acoustics and lighting to accommodate music and drama productions, two lecture halls with movable partitions, a skylit cafeteria overlooking the Hudson River, 12 science laboratories (including a molecular biology lab and an analytical chemistry lab) and special shops for instruction in ceramics, photography, wood, plastics, metal work, robotics and energy studies. One room, called the "Museum Room", was built as a replica of a room in the 15th Street Stuyvesant building as a request by students, with desks, chairs, a table and blackboard brought from there, as well as paint and flooring in its style. The room was dedicated to teacher Dr. A. Edward Stefanacci, who died in 1993. The school's library has a capacity of 40,000 volumes and overlooks Battery Park City.[41] This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ...

Although Stuyvesant is primarily known for its strength in areas such as math and science, the school has also developed a very strong humanities curriculum, as the English and social studies departments rank amongst the best in the school. Comprehensive programs in the humanities offer students courses in British and classical literature, philosophy, existentialism, debate, acting, journalism, and a host of creative writing and poetry classes. The history core requires a year of ancient, European and American history, as well as a semester of economics and government. Humanities electives include American foreign policy, civil and criminal law, Jewish history, "prejudice and persecution", "race, ethnicity and gender issues", small business management, and Wall Street.

Stuyvesant has recently entered into an agreement with City College of New York, in which the college funds advanced after-school courses that are taken for college credit but taught by Stuyvesant teachers. Some of these courses include physical chemistry, linear algebra, advanced Euclidean geometry, and women's history.[47][48] “City College” redirects here. ...


In 1999, Gary He '02 started a website called stuynet.com where students could rate their teachers, although he later shut down the evaluation section after mathematics teacher Bruce Winokur threatened a libel suit.[citation needed] Gary He and stuynet were featured in national media including Howard Stern and the New York Times.[citation needed] The website lives on under a new name, stuycom.net, where the teacher evaluations are dubbed "course evaluations" and cause less controversy than their predecessors.[citation needed]


Extracurricular activities

Sports

Stuyvesant fields 26 varsity teams, including a swimming team, as well as golf, bowling, volleyball, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, wrestling, fencing, baseball/softball, handball, tennis, track/cross country, cricket, football,[citation needed] and starting in Spring 2008, lacrosse teams.[citation needed] In addition, Stuyvesant club teams include boys' varsity and junior varsity, and girls' varsity Ultimate teams. The girls' Ultimate team, Sticky Fingers, won the UPA Junior National tournament in 1998 and the boys' Ultimate team, also called Sticky Fingers, won the City Championship titles in 2005, 2006, and 2007.[citation needed] The Stuyvesant Cross Country team was Public Schools Athletic League City Champions in 2004,2005 and 2007, and have been Manhattan Borough Triple Crown Champions since 1999.[citation needed] The Stuyvesant Boys Swimming Team, the Pirates, have been PSAL City Champions consecutively since 2000 and Opens champions since 1995.[citation needed] The Stuyvesant Bowling Team has been the PSAL Manhattan Borough Champion consecutively since 1990.[citation needed] The girls soccer team, the Mimbas, brought home the City Championship title in 2001, 2004, and 2005, despite a severe lack of practice space and lack of a home field.[citation needed] In 2005 the Stuyvesant Fencing team won the PSAL City Championship.[citation needed] In 2001, Stuyvesant added a varsity ice hockey team, the first public school in New York City to do so.[citation needed] In 2006, the Roller Hockey team was founded by Daniel Goldstern '09, Zakhar Shtulberg '09 and Chris Zhao '09. They compete in regional tournaments and have experienced much success. Stuyvesant is also a powerhouse in fencing with a string of city championships from 1986 through 1989 and again as recently as 2005.[citation needed] In September 2007 the Stuyvesant football team were granted a home field at Pier 40. Stuyvesant does not, however, have a track, baseball field, or tennis court, although the new building does have a pool.[49] In the United States and Canada, varsity sports teams are the principal athletic teams representing a college, university, or high school or other secondary school. ...

Unlike most American high schools, most sports teams at Stuyvesant has their own name, such as the Lemurs (boys gymnastics), Peglegs (football and bowling), Penguins (girls swimming), Pirates (boys swimming), Ballers (boys soccer), Mimbas (girls soccer), Vixens (girls varsity volleyball), Hitmen (baseball), Flying Dutchmen (hockey) and Spartans (wrestling and Roller Hockey).[50] These names tend to change with time.


The Student Union

The Stuyvesant Student Union is a group of elected and appointed students who serve the student body in two important areas: A students union, student government, or student council is a student organization present at many colleges and universities, often with its own building on the campus, dedicated to social and organizational activities of the student body. ...

  1. Improving student life by promoting and managing extracurricular activities (clubs and publications), and by organizing out-of-school activity such as city excursions or fund-raisers;
  2. Providing a voice to the student body in all discussion of school policy with the administration.

The latter has been increasingly important since the attacks of 9/11, with the administration and the Department of Education enacting sometimes controversial regulations in the name of school safety (e.g., the phasing out of SING! rehearsals).[citation needed]


The Student Union was also involved in the recent and ongoing controversy of the use of ID scanners at Stuyvesant, in which students were required to scan in to a computer to enter and leave the building.[citation needed]


Clubs and publications

Stuyvesant offers clubs, publications, teams and other opportunities under a system similar to that of many colleges. It hosts over 200 clubs ranging from The Thinkers (philosophy) club, to the Photography Club, and the Robotics Team, which competes in the international FIRST Robotics Competition.[51] The sheer number of clubs at the school is due to Stuyvesant's relatively free policy of "student rule". Most clubs are entirely student run, requiring only a Faculty Advisor to maintain their existance. One of the best examples of this policy is the Stuyvesant Model UN club, the Sicknasties, which is one of the largest clubs in the school. The Sicknasties attend as many as 6 Model UN Conferences each year held at various Colleges across the Northeast. The club also hosts its own conference each year called StuyMUNC and the Students organize the conference with a minimum of interference from the school's administration. The school's speech and debate team is nationally recognized[citation needed] and arguably one of Stuyvesant's most successful teams, with a 25+ year history of winning national championship tournaments on both individual and team levels.[citation needed] The speech and debate team is run by Ms. Sheinman, who has been the coach of the team since 1985. Stuyvesant also has a very prestigious JSA program (a political debate club). The Stuyvesant Theater Community puts on three student-run productions a year (a fall musical, a winter drama, and a spring comedy) as well as a one-act festival and several smaller studio productions.[52] Key Club International also has a branch at Stuyvesant, with over 200 members making it one of the largest clubs in the school.

The Spectator

The Spectator is Stuyvesant's official school newspaper. It contains twelve sections: news, features, op-ed, arts & entertainment, sports, photography, art, layout, copy, business, web content and web development. Most departments are headed by at least two editors, all of whom encompass the editorial board of the paper. The editorial board meets daily in the Spectator journalism class and is headed by the Editor in Chief and Managing Editor. At the start of their term, the Editor in Chief and Managing Editor select four editors to be members of the Managing Board, a group that advises the Editor in Chief and Managing Editor on matters relating to the paper. There are over 250 total staff members who help to produce the bi-weekly publication. At the beginning of the fall and spring terms, there are recruitments, but interested students may join at any time. The Spectator is independent from the school, but it remains a prime news source for students, teachers, and administrators. Look up editorial, op-ed in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The Stuyvesant Standard

Founded in 2001, The Stuyvesant Standard is a bi-weekly newspaper published by Stuyvesant students for the community in and around the school. It covers school news as well as current events, and contains "interest sections" such as Business and Science alongside the standard departments of Opinions, Sports, and Arts & Entertainment. The Standard is distributed within Stuyvesant and throughout the surrounding community.

The Voice

The Voice was founded in the 1973–74 academic year as an independent publication only loosely sanctioned by school officials.[53] It had the appearance of a magazine and gained a large readership. The Voice attracted a considerable amount of controversy and a First Amendment lawsuit, after which the administration forced it to go off-campus and to turn commercial in 1975–76.[53] “First Amendment” redirects here. ...


In the beginning of the 75–76 academic year, The Voice decided to publish the results of a confidential random survey measuring the "sexual attitudes, preferences, knowledge and experience" of the students.[55] The administration refused to permit The Voice to distribute the questionnaire, and the Board of Education refused to intervene, believing that "irreparable psychological damage" would be occasioned on some of the students receiving it.[55]


The editor-in-chief of The Voice, Jeff Trachtman,[56] brought a First Amendment challenge to this decision in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in front of Judge Constance Baker Motley.[55] Judge Motley, relying on the relatively recent Supreme Court precedent Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District ("undifferentiated fear or apprehension of disturbance is not enough to overcome the right to freedom of expression"),[57] ordered the Board of Education to come up with an arrangement permitting the distribution of the survey to the juniors and seniors.

Holding The First Amendment, as applied through the Fourteenth, did not permit a public school to punish a student for wearing a black armband as an anti-war protest, absent any evidence that the rule was necessary to avoid substantial interference with school discipline or the rights of others. ...


However, Judge Motley's ruling was overturned on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.[58] Judge J. Edward Lumbard, joined by Judge Murray Gurfein and over an impassioned dissent by Judge Walter R. Mansfield, held that the distribution of the questionnaires was properly disallowed by the administration as there was "a substantial basis for defendants' belief that distribution of the questionnaire would result in significant emotional harm to a number of students throughout the Stuyvesant population."[58] The Supreme Court denied certiorari review.[59] The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is a federal court with appellate jurisdiction over the district courts in the following districts: District of Connecticut Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of New York District of Vermont The Second Circuit hears argument at the Thurgood Marshall U...

SING V program, 1977

The annual theater competition known as SING! pits seniors, juniors, and "soph-frosh" (freshmen and sophomores working together) against each other in a race to put on the best performance. Started in 1947 at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, SING! is a tradition at many New York City high schools. At Stuyvesant, SING! started as a small event in 1973 and has grown to a huge school-wide event — in 2005, nearly 1,000 students participated. The entire production is written, produced, and funded by students. Their involvement ranges from being members of the production's casts, choruses, or tech crews to Irish dance, Step, Bollywood, or Latin dance groups.

Student body

For most of the 20th century, the student body at Stuyvesant was heavily Jewish. A significant influx of Asian students began in the 1970s. For the 2006–2007 Academic Year, the student body was approximately 62 percent Asian American and 32 percent Caucasian, with Blacks and Hispanics each constituting roughly 5 percent of the population.[61] Stuyvesant possesses a disproportionate amount of historical minorities in comparison to national and local population distributions.[62][4] (See also Demographics of New York City.)

Accusations of bias in admission tests

The school's off-center demographic profile and relative paucity of black and Hispanic students have often been a source of consternation for some city administrators. Mayor John Lindsay (1966–1973) argued that the test was culturally biased against Black and Hispanic students and sought to implement an affirmative action program. However, protests by parents forced the plan to be scrapped and led to the passage of Article 12, preserving admissions by examination only. A small number of students judged to be economically disadvantaged and who come within a few points of the cut-off score are given an extra chance to pass the test.[62] Manifestations Slavery Racial profiling Lynching Hate speech Hate crime Genocide (examples) Ethnocide Ethnic cleansing Pogrom Race war Religious persecution Gay bashing Blood libel Paternalism Police brutality Movements Policies Discriminatory Race / Religion / Sex segregation Apartheid Redlining Internment Anti-discriminatory Emancipation Civil rights Desegregation Integration Equal opportunity Counter-discriminatory Affirmative action Racial...


In 1996 community activist group ACORN published two reports, "Secret Apartheid" and "Secret Apartheid II", calling the SHSAT "permanently suspect" and a "product of an institutional racism", and claiming that Black and Hispanic students did not have access to proper test preparation materials.[30] Along with Schools Chancellor Rudy Crew, they began an initiative for more diversity in the city's gifted and specialized schools, in particular demanding that since only a few districts send the majority of Stuyvesant's and Bronx Science's students, that the SHSAT be suspended altogether "until the Board of Education can show that the students of each middle school in the system have had access to curricula and instruction that would prepare them for this test regardless of their color or economic status." Jesse Shapiro, Stuyvesant valedictorian, and Alan Van Dyke and Micah C. Lasher, then sophomores, published several editorials in response, and change was averted.[11][63] This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
