Chaminade High School

Chaminade High School is a Catholic college preparatory high school for boys in Mineola on Long Island, New York. The Marianist Province of Meribah operates two high schools, Chaminade (all-boys) and Kellenberg Memorial High School (coeducational). The school is named for Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, SM, the founder of the Society of Mary.

The main campus of Chaminade in Mineola is comprised five buildings: the Chaminade High School building itself; the Dolan Family Science, Technology, and Research Center (STRC); the Chaminade Activity-Athletic Center (AAC); the Physical Fitness Center (PFC), and Saragossa Day Retreat Center. The STRC was built through a donation from the Dolan Family Foundation, created by Helen and Charles Dolan. The AAC hosts basketball, wrestling, religious services, and other events.

Saragossa is one of two retreat centers Chaminade students have access to, alongside Meribah Retreat House in Muttontown, New York. In addition to Saragossa and Meribah, Chaminade students also share Founders Hollow, a retreat property of over 100 acres in Accord, New York, with Kellenberg Memorial students.

Academics

The academic selection at Chaminade is based entirely on honors-level courses, with Advanced Placement courses offered as well. All students, including seniors, are required to have completely filled schedules.

Chaminade's average SAT score is 1245 and the average ACT score is 27.2.

The lacrosse team has frequently been ranked within the top 10 schools in the United States, occasionally taking the top national spot, according to lists from organizations such as Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse.

The school participates in 17 sports: crew, cross country, football, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, bowling, ice hockey, riflery, track and field, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse, rugby, tennis, and volleyball.
