From its perennial crop of high achieving scholar-athletes to its long tradition of community service, HHS demonstrates the success that results when gifted teachers come together with motivated students in a cooperative learning environment. The Facilities Capital and technological improvements are being planned for Hewlett High School that will not only accommodate growing enrollment, but outfit the building as a model 21st Century educational institution. All sites have basic Internet access. The art wing has every amenity to assist in the effective teaching of fine arts, graphic arts, photography and architecture. Hewlett's athletic complex includes a 10,000 square foot gymnasium with new bleachers, a fully equipped fitness room, and an attached indoor swimming facility.
Plans call for complete refurbishment of the track area.
For example, Hewlett High School is routinely represented in the prestigious Intel Talent Search. Last year, a team of Hewlett physics students topped 30 other high school hopefuls to win Hofstra University's annual Egg Drop contest, a test of physics and engineering. Hewlett has broad participation in the Future Business Leaders of America, and many students become involved in internships and shadowing programs that provide real-life work experience. The Senior Project program is an opportunity for students to explore interests and possible careers. Hewlett ranks very high in both the percentage of its students taking college-level Advanced Placement courses and in the high incidence of students named Advanced Placement Scholars.
