Somers High School does a very good job of combining academic rigor with excellent athletics. The school has many Honors, AP and IB courses. There is an abundance of clubs and volunteer opportunities. The arts are all well-represented, with choir, band, jazz band, orchestra, dance and theater having lots of active participants. The athletics are great. Our boys soccer team just went to the state final again (won a couple of years back), and a couple of years ago we won the state football championship. Girls soccer also won the state championship.

I love the principal, Mark Bayer, and the support administrators. The teachers are largely excellent. The guidance counselors are mostly all very helpful. The college and career center is very helpful too. Both of children have had an exceptional experience at Somers High school.

I love Somers High School because there's so much school spirit! Everyone surrounding you is well-rounded in academics, extra curricular activities, and sports that it makes you feel proud and want to do just as well or maybe even better.
The teachers at Somers are very passionate about what they do and are more than willing to help their students. My time at Somers High School prepared me extremely well for college life. Additionally, it is a great school community with lots of school spirit. The one thing that I would improve is the funding and support for the music programs.
