Hendrick Hudson High School, nicknamed Hen Hud, is a public high school in Montrose, New York, United States. It draws its students from the neighboring towns of Verplanck, Buchanan, Cortlandt Manor, Montrose, and Crugers, the village of Croton-on-Hudson, and the city of Peekskill.
There are approximately 900 students in Hendrick Hudson, averaging about 225 students per grade.
The principal of Hendrick Hudson is James L. Mackin, Jr. The assistant principals are Tina Wilson and Laura Nier.
In the 2007-2008 school year, Hendrick Hudson High School offered 50 sections of 12 Advanced Placement courses in eight different subject areas. It also began offering a three-year science research course sequence to tenth graders through the State University of New York at Albany in the High School program. There are two college level language classes offered through Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA), in Italian and French.
In 2010, Hendrick Hudson High School introduced a new four-year engineering program through Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Starting in the 2011–2012 school year, a second four-year Project Lead the Way program will also be offered in the biomedical sciences.
The choral program comprises three choruses: Concert Choir, an SATB group open to all Hen Hud students; Hen Hud Harmonizers, an audition-based SATB group; and a Treble Chorus, also known as the Treble Makers, an audition-based women's treble chorus. The Treble Makers won Best Overall Choir and Best Women's Chorus at the Music in the Parks festival in May 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2015. The Treble Chorus was invited to sing at the celebration in May 2009 commemorating the Aaron Copland House (which is located within the Hen Hud district) as a National Historic Landmark. The Treble Makers have recently been collaborating with British rock violinist Daisy Jopling, having performed with her and her band at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Peekskill, New York, as well as the Peter Norton Symphony Space in Manhattan.
