Harry S Truman High School

Overview written by the school: Our school is writing a new chapter in our history as the best-kept secret in the Bronx. We have taken the small school feeling and combined it with the variety of courses, diverse student body, and world-class facilities that you can only get in a large high school environment. Our students take core academic courses and commit to one of six career academies. Our 12th graders earn millions of dollars in scholarships every year to attend universities like Fordham, NYU, St. John's, DePauw University, and Penn State. Students ask: "Why would I go anywhere else?" It is a class-leading education close to home. If it sounds too good to be true, come and visit for yourself.
