Peekskill High School Transformed

Peekskill High School will welcome students on September 6 with many new changes. There is a new principal, Frederick Hutchinson. There is a new start time: 8:03 a.m., with students encouraged to be at the High School by 7:45 a.m. each morning. There is a new Master Schedule and additional academic intervention services available for students.

And, there is a new plaza area, a new cafeteria, a new technology center in the library, and a new Jason C. Paige Fitness Center. Since finishing touches are still being put in place, each of these areas will have "official" opening celebrations throughout the fall.
