Administrators from the White Plains City School District met on Thursday for their annual retreat to reflect on the 2025-26 school year and continue planning for the upcoming 2026-27 school year. 

The District will be undertaking improvements to vehicle access at the physical education circle at White Plains High School. As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain efficient access to our athletic facilities and enhance traffic flow, the District will be installing an electronic gate at the entrance of the physical education circle. This improvement is designed to help keep access routes to the gyms and athletic fields clear and ensure parked vehicles are in the designated parking lot. Installation of the new gate will begin on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.

The White Plains High School Class of 2026 crossed the stage at Westchester County Center Thursday evening to officially graduate from high school and begin their next chapter. The commencement ceremony was marked by hundreds of proud family members and friends cheering on the 567 graduates.
