Could a high school campus once have been a castle? Here at Irvington High School, the echoes of history whisper such tales. Irvington High School sits on land with a rich past. Before the roar of the Bulldogs, this very spot held a grand, castle-like cottage, complete with a circular tower. Built in the 1860s by Dr. Augustus Corey Richards, the cottage, known as Cedar Lawn, was a testament to a different era. Later owned by Isaac Stern, a founder of Stern’s department store, the cottage met a tragic end, destroyed by fire in 1961. The land was then sold to the Irvington School Board, paving the way for the Irvington High School we see today. Irvington High School prides itself on its rigorous college preparatory program and wide array of extracurricular activities. The school boasts a high graduation rate, with most graduates pursuing higher education. Advanced Placement courses and unique programs, like the college-level science research course sponsored by the University at Albany, provide students with exceptional learning opportunities. Irvington High School also offers Project Lead The Way, in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of Technology, and college-level course credit through Syracuse University. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek as one of America’s best public high schools, Irvington High School fosters a culture of academic excellence. From a castle-like cottage to a modern educational institution, Irvington High School stands as a symbol of transformation and opportunity. It’s a place where history and education intertwine, shaping future generations.
