Massapequa offers a rich academic environment, and we strongly encourage all our students to pursue a challenging high school program which will lead to happiness and success after graduation. Whether your child is passionate about the arts, sciences, humanities, or vocational pursuits, we have carefully curated a selection of courses to ignite curiosity and inspire lifelong learning.

The Course Content Booklet enables parents and students to thoughtfully choose the best academic path through Massapequa High School-Ames Campus and Massapequa High School-Main Campus. This catalog is more than just a list of classes; it's a roadmap to unlocking potential, fostering growth, and shaping bright futures for all our students. Moreover, the information included in the catalog extends outside of just course work. These avenues provide students with a challenging, personalized, and holistic education that fosters leadership skills, teamwork, and a sense of civic responsibility.

We recognize the pivotal role parents play in supporting their child's educational journey. We encourage parents to explore the catalog alongside their child, engage in meaningful conversations about their aspirations, and work together to create a roadmap for success. Our administrators, guidance counselors, and teachers are ready and willing to assist.

The Academic Resource Guide is used to maximize our capability to plan an efficient academic program. Students and parents are urged to investigate courses, subjects, and consider future plans when selecting courses.

What is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)?

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports is the term used to describe an evidence-based model of education that employs data-based problem-solving techniques to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention.

Whether asked by students, faculty, school officials, or the New York State Education Department, this question represents the cornerstone of any system of evaluation. Assessing the effectiveness of the curriculum, the teaching and learning that occurs in the classroom, and the success students achieve are all integral parts of an educational program. The district has a rigorous program of assessment that incorporates a variety of evaluation systems, from state assessments to evaluative tools and techniques implemented by teaching staff.
