Striving for excellence is the ongoing mission of the Fort Hamilton High School family. Daily, our administrative and teaching staff prepares students to meet, and ultimately exceed, the academic challenges of the State Education Department’s performance standards and assessments. As educators, we teach, while our students learn to become literate and productive citizens of the twenty-first century.
Parents, as well, are an integral component in their children’s education. We welcome their input and hope to enlighten them as to the changes which have taken place across the curriculum in order to prepare our students for graduation. It is important that they work hand-in-hand with the school as partners.
At Fort Hamilton High School, our focus is quality instruction, provided in an environment safe and conducive to learning with mutual respect for all. It is with great admiration that I acquaint you with the many facets of the “jewel in the crown” of Bay Ridge and the New York City Public High Schools: Fort Hamilton High School.
