Frequently Asked Questions

ARISTA is Stuyvesant High School’s premier honor society. We strive to become positive role models as we proudly serve our communities by upholding our four pillars of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Not only are our handpicked members—some of the most diligent and morally upright students within Stuyvesant—the backbone of the academic support system within Stuyvesant, but we are also a coveted volunteer force that positively permeates the greater New York City community.

Despite the sometimes overwhelming amount of obligations and commitments our members have, we, high school students, are perhaps one of the most reliable volunteer groups in the country—not because we have more time than anyone else, but because we make time for the causes we care about.
