Townsend Harris High School

Im a freshman here and it's not as hard as many people say it is. I love it here and wouldn't trade it for anything. It's amazing.

I am currently a freshman in this school and I love it! The staff is amazing and the students are really nice. I would never consider transfer.

My daughter goes to this school. She is now a senior of class 2016. There higher education is awesome.

my dad works here hector benitez if any of you go here do you notice who im talkin bout I personally love this school

I'm entering my junior year here, and I must say, it is quite challenging. This school has forced me to change my studying habits (from not studying at all to late night cram sessions).
While the lack of sleep does get to you, I wouldn't exchange it for anything- because I know that in the end its all worth it. I love my peers, the teachers (well, most of them), and the atmosphere. Its a place where loving to learn and work hard does not have a negative connotation. The students here know what they want to do in life, and even if they don't, they are striving to find that goal. The majority of the students here prefer a book over a blunt unlike other schools.
While we may be known to others as the hardcore nerds, our athletics department is certainly not lacking in any aspect. I can confidently say that the teams are all strong, constantly winning numerous awards. Who ever said nerds couldn't be awesome athletes?
So while it might not be as well known as the other specialized schools, it definitely should not be overlooked.
