Saratoga Springs High School is a public high school in Saratoga Springs, New York. The school was originally located on Lake Avenue, relocating to its current location prior to 1969. The current campus was renovated in 2002. The school's drama club and cross country teams consistently rank high in competitions. Its sport teams are called the Blue Streaks.
In the news[edit]
The school made national news in 1966, when 18-year-old Sharon Ann Dalrymple was sent home for wearing slacks. Her parents appealed the decision to the State Education Department.[2]
An alumnus of the school disrupted the graduation ceremony held at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 2008, running across the stage dressed in a costume modeled on male genitalia.[3]
In 2024, media reported on track coaches Art and Linda Kranick who had purportedly abused their authority over the course of over 35 years. They allegedly denied student athletes a day off, attempted to influence runners’ diets, weekend schedules, vitamin supplements, and orthotic shoe inserts.[4]
