Westchester Hebrew High School (WHHS) is a private Jewish high school in Mamaroneck, New York, United States.

## History[edit]

The school, which was founded c. 1976, is the only co-educational Modern Orthodox Jewish high school in Westchester County, New York. Jeffrey Bloom is the head of school.[1]

As a private school, WHHS has benefitted from its association with the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education, a fundraising organization dedicated to defraying part of the cost of tuition.[2]

## Student body[edit]

The school enrolls students from New York State, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Within New York State, students originate from Westchester and Rockland counties, as well as New York City (including the Riverdale area of Bronx, and Queens).[3]

## Sports[edit]

The school's team--the Westchester Wolverines--is a member of the Metropolitan Yeshiva High School Athletic League. It takes part in various junior varsity and varsity team sports which include basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, wrestling, hockey and golf.[4]
