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

[edit]

The current Malverne High school was constructed in 1958.[1] It was designed by Valley Stream-based Frederic P. Wiedersum Associates.[1] The school is one of four operated by the Malverne School District.[2]

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.[3][4][5][6] Racial tensions continued at the school for years after it became integrated.[3][4]

As of 2024, the principal is Kesha Bascombe.[7]
