Contents
Beginning with the class of 2004, students in the ninth grade in the Rush-Henrietta district began attending the Ninth Grade Academy (formerly known as the Webster building). This move was made in response to an overcrowding of students at the Senior High building. The Ninth Grade Academy is a short distance (.5 miles) from the high school.
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.
Sports facilities
The Senior High School has a wide array of sports facilities. This includes a football stadium with two sets of bleacher stands and an 8-lane track surrounding the field. The grounds also contain 6 fully caged and standard regulation tennis courts, three baseball diamonds, and three soccer/lacrosse fields.
Inside, an indoor pool features a diving well as well as standard lap lanes. The school allows time for open swim where any resident of the Rush-Henrietta community may use the pool. A full-sized basketball court comprises the gymnasium, flanked by folding bleachers on each side of the court.
Expansion
Under the direction of Dr. Ken Graham, Superintendent of Schools, the school recently added on a $15 million gym complex, as well as extensive remodeling to the sports fields located on the campus. This expansion also added eight new classrooms to the academic structure of the building. The expansion also added a Senior Lounge to the building. The expansion also added a new Literacy Center adjacent to the Senior Lounge. The expansion also added new parking lot space. The expansion was under the supervision of The Rush Henrietta Central School District. The expansion is set to be completed in September 2014.
