Pine Bush High School is on the leading edge of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) education. The School has many innovative programs including an engineering and design course that aligns with Orange Community College’s engineering 101 enabling students to earn college credits in high school a manufacturing center where students work on CNC equipment, a laser cutter and 3d printers and an automation program where students build and program robots.
