Thank
you for visiting our website. You will see that, in spite of being a
small district, we have many offerings that make our district unique and
provide our students with the opportunities to be prepared when they
graduate. The Agenda for the next Board Meeting is available on the calendar. Just click on the date of the next meeting. Click here for a summary of the latest Board of Education Meeting.
Our library media center is unique in that it is the only shared school/public library in New York State.
It is a modern facility, which provides our community with the benefit
of jointly utilizing the collections of a school library as well as a
public library.
The
technology program in our school is unsurpassed in our area. Every
classroom has a minimum of four desktop computers. We also have two
mobile laptop labs and three computer labs as well as a long- distance
learning facility that allows our students virtually access to any place
in the world. They have enjoyed such experiences as talking to the
astronauts at NASA and students in England. They have, also, taken classes from such places as Stanford University in California.
At
the upper levels, we offer honors classes in all core areas plus many
AP and Gemini classes, allowing our students to earn college credit
while still in High School.
Almost
all of our students are involved in some type of extra-curricular
activity. Over 60% of our High School students participate in at least
one sport. We, also, have musicals and an active student council to
mention a few others.
We
have an energetic teaching staff and a dynamic and innovative
administrative staff who are dedicated to educating our students. We
have a number of volunteers who, in a variety of ways, offer their
support to both students and staff. Our school combines the setting of a
small school with many offerings found in a larger district. Our goal
is to create a partnership with the school, students and community to
challenge all our learners to higher standards.
