Shenendehowa High School, often shortened to Shen High School, is a public high school located in Clifton Park, New York, part of New York's Capital Region. It is part of the Shenendehowa Central School District and serves the district's 9th through 12th graders. Students are separated between two buildings (East and West) by their grade levels. Both buildings are located on the district's main campus off of NY 146. The recently expanded East building houses 10th through 12th graders, while the West building houses only 9th graders. It is the largest public school district in a suburban area in New York State.
The original high school was built in the early 1950s, the building that is now Gowana and Acadia Middle Schools. Shenendehowa High School East opened its doors in 1970, housing grades 9-12. Twenty-nine years later, in 1999, Shenendehowa High School West would open in the previous Koda Middle School building, to move grade 9 and half of grade 10 out of the east building. All of grade 10 would be introduced to the east building in 2004.
In accordance with the Profile of a Shenendehowa Graduate, the high school community will pursue the highest levels of academic and personal achievement, as well as civic responsibility, cultural awareness and character development.
