It’s not too late to join the PTSA for the 2023-2024 school year! | Is your student a theater kid? Do they participate in a club? Do you think they’ll graduate from EHS one day? Then your family is benefiting from the PTSA! We fund programs not covered by the school budget, including student clubs, performances, competitions, field trips, and special events (such as senior forum and graduation), and we are funded entirely by membership dues, contributions, and fundraising proceeds. | |
You can also pay your PTSA membership dues by check/cash in an envelope left in the PTSA mailbox at the high school. Note that the PTSA is separate from the Elementary PTA and any contributions you may have made at the elementary school level. Thank you for your support! | |

Tom Kraemer, High School ICAP teacher
My name is Tom Kraemer and I have been working as an educator for 18 years. I love sports, especially the NY Giants, watching Star Wars movies, and spending quality time with my family including my wife and four children. I was previously at Edgemont in the middle school and high school for a leave position in the '21-22 school year. I have now joined Edgemont as the new ICAP high school teacher, where I have been working this past summer. I look forward to continuing in this role and am happy to return to the Edgemont school community.

The Sharing Shelf was founded to address clothing insecurity and meet the basic material needs of low-income children and teens in Westchester County. Nearly 26% of Westchester children live in poor or low-income homes, and many lack access to clean clothing, as well as everyday necessities such as socks, underwear, shoes, toothbrushes, and soap. This impacts many aspects of their lives – from chronic absences from school, to bullying, to low self-esteem.
