Sewanhaka High School is located in Floral Park, a residential area of Nassau County, LI. The school's name translates to "Island of Shells" in English. It was built around 1929 and it was the first high school in the district. In the 50s and 60s the other high schools of the district were created to accommodate the students. So, during approximately 21 years all the students of the district assisted to this high school.
It has students from 7th to 12th grade because most of the surrounding areas doesn’t count with a middle school . As you can look the design of the building is very classic. It is similar to a city hall, with the main entrance and the clock tower. Many people when they look at it do not think is a high school because it doesn’t have the common structure of one.
This building is very big and holds approximately
1,595 students. Inside it is kind of scary because the halls does not have that much light and the structure is old. The picture shows only the front part of it. You can tell this building was constructed before the 50s because of its appearance and the design of the windows, doors and the clock tower which was not used in more modern buildings. The picture below was taken in 1955. As you can see there is not too much difference between now and then. The building has been repair several times since we have in mind that it has 79 years.
