SHA students let their talents shine in our award-winning theater program. Under the direction of theater veteran MaryLee Delaney, our annual musical lights up the legendary stage of the Shubert Theater in New Haven, where students work alongside theater professionals on performance, set design, lighting, sound, and costuming.
At SHA, students not only study scientific breakthroughs—they make them. In a college-level biotechnology program not typical of a high-school setting, students embark on high-tech gene discovery work that has resulted in dozens of published sequences in GenBank, the National Institutes of Health genetic sequence database.
SHA prepares young women to confidently explore leadership roles in a digital- and globally-focused jobs market by bringing the real worlds of business and finance to the classroom. Here, students gain valuable hands-on experience as they learn to research, analyze, and compete in the global economy.
