Bears Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow High School (SHHS) is a high school located in Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County, New York, United States. It is part of the Union Free School District of Tarrytowns. The mascot is the Headless Horseman. It is consistently ranked in the top 5–10% of high schools in New York State. Its diverse student body is reflective of the village's wide array of cultures, socioeconomics, and inclusiveness and is often recognized for excellence in this regard.

The current building, adjacent to the historic Edward Harden Mansion, is part of the school complex that sits atop a knoll referred to in Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," in which the author describes protagonist Ichabod Crane's first encounter with and race from the Headless Horseman through and around what is now known as Patriots Park: Just at this moment a plashy tramp by the side of the bridge caught the sensitive ear of Ichabod. In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, he beheld something huge, misshapen and towering.[1][2]
