Its principal is Mr. Chris Borsari and its vice principals are Chris Walsh and Ken Cotrone. It is the only secondary school within the Byram Hills Central School District and serves students from the towns of North Castle, Bedford, Mount Pleasant, and New Castle. The school currently enrolls over 800 students in grades 9–12. The school operates on the semester system, with two quarters (referred to as marking periods) per semester. Byram Hills does not rank its graduating classes nor does it additionally weight the GPAs of its students. In addition, Byram Hills is a "closed campus", meaning students may not leave campus during the schoolday without proper notification.

In addition, the school has renowned academic, performing arts, and athletic programs. Byram Hills also features myriad clubs and extracurricular activities for its students. == Academics == Students at Byram Hills are required to pursue a broad based curriculum, involving all areas of high school learning. During their four years, students are required to take four years of English, four years of social sciences, four years of mathematics, four years of physical education, three years of physical science, two years of foreign language, two years of visual or performing arts, one semester of health, one semester of economics, and one semester of mentor. In addition, students also have the option of taking many different elective classes which they can use towards their core requirements. Typically, a student will register for anywhere between 6–8 courses a semester. To counter the heavy academic schedule, the school follows the "drop-day" cycle pattern. Each day, students "drop" one of their classes for that day's cycle (for example, if it is drop-day 1, then students skip their first period class), except for drop-day A, in which students must attend all of their classes (however, classes are then shortened to accommodate this). The drop-day schedule also guarantees each student to have at least one study (or "free") period every nine days. While freshmen cannot add additional free periods, upperclassmen may opt for more free periods if they choose to do so. In addition to the core curriculum, Byram Hills also offers many Advanced Placement courses for those seeking college credit. The school currently offers 15 AP courses in all areas of study. In addition, the school offers various honors courses in mathematics and science.
