Overview

Rush-Henrietta Senior High School, located in Henrietta, New York, also referred to as R-H and Sperry High School, is the only high school in the Rush-Henrietta Central School District. As of the 2007-2008 school year, the principal is Beth Patton.

Beginning with the class of 2004, students in the ninth grade in the Rush-Henrietta district began attending the Ninth Grade Academy (formally known as the Webster building). This move was made in response to an overcrowding of students at the Senior High building.

Rush-Henrietta has a strong athletic program with dozens of varsity teams. The school is known to be arch rivals with the Red Raiders of the nearby Fairport Central School District, located in Fairport, New York.

ports Facilities

The Senior High School has a wide array of sports facilities. This includes a football stadium with two sets of bleacher stands and a track, containing 8 lanes, surrounds the field. The school also offers approximately 6 fully caged and standard regulation tennis courts, approximately three baseball diamonds, and approximately three soccer/lacrosse fields.

The school also boasts an indoor pool, featuring a diving well as well as a standard pool for laps. The school allows time for open swim where any resident of the Rush-Henrietta community may swim during the time allotted.

Also, the high school has a full basketball court sized gymnasium with folding bleachers on each side of the court. This is the infamous setting where the students of Rush-Henrietta conjugate for at least one hour each school day while each individual grade consumes their lunches.
