History


Archbishop Stepinac High School opened in 1948 with a capacity of 1,360 students. It began with freshman and sophomore years and reached its full complement in 1950. The school was established subsequent to fundraising by the Catholic parishes of Westchester County, under the leadership of Cardinal Francis Spellman, the Archbishop of New York, and the educational officials of the Archdiocese. The initial purpose of the school was to establish a full educational program with a diversity of subject choices leading to a well-rounded student. In addition to the college preparatory program it offered a general course for boys who wanted to finish their education with high school and enter a trade. Boys were taught by an all-male faculty, almost entirely religious in makeup. In its early years the administration of the school was in the hands of diocesan priests, assisted by religious brothers and an occasional layman. Students from the school were used as extras in the 1972 film Child's Play directed by Sidney Lumet. In many sports, Stepinac has many rival schools that include Iona Prep, Fordham Prep, Holy Cross, St. Francis Prep, Holy Trinity, St. Anthony's, Chaminade, Monsignor Farrell and White Plains Senior High School (traditionally for the annual post-season football "Turkey Bowl" on Thanksgiving Day).


In 2014, Stepinac Varsity Football team won the AAA Championship in the CHSFL. The School has won lower division championships, but it was the first time the school was League champion since 1955, when it shared the title with Saint Francis Prep.[4]


Archbishop Stepinac's wrestling team also won the Catholic league championship during the 2013–2014 season and the 2014–2015 season.



Program


The current administration and faculty of Stepinac is a mix of religious (priests) and lay men and women. The high school draws its students predominantly from Westchester County[5] and has evolved into a college preparatory school. The school offers a College Prep program, Honors program offering 22 AP classes, and starting in the 2016-2017 school year, an honors academy designed to give students a head start in their respective field.[6] Stepinac utilizes a library of digital textbooks that can be accessed by students on a variety of devices and is vastly less expensive than buying individual textbooks.
