Malverne High School (also known as Malverne Senior High School) is a public high school in Malverne, in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. It is the Malverne Union Free School District's sole high school.
Description
The current Malverne High school was constructed in 1958. It was designed by Valley Stream-based Frederic P. Wiedersum Associates. The school is one of four operated by the Malverne School District.
The high school (and the district itself) made national news in the 1960s, due to racial tensions and its refusal to become racially integrated – despite that Brown v. Board of Education had been ruled upon place a decade prior, ruling on the federal level that public schools must integrate. Racial tensions continued at the school for years after it became integrated.
As of 2024, the principal is Kesha Bascombe.
