History

From the years 1920-1935, the population in Ardsley doubled, therefore a addition was added on to the 'old' high school in 1925. By the second population boom post World War II the Ardsley School District sought to build a new High School on the former Lewisohn Estate on Washington Hill. which burned to the ground in 1957. Ardsley High School opened its door to students for the 1957-1958 school year.
