History

In 1888, a notable wooden public school building was constructed on Greene Avenue, which was used by the school system until about 1958. Adelphi University also used the building for a period of time in the early 1960s. In 1964, the building was renovated for school administration use. "Old 88" burned down in a fire in December 1969, and a marker was placed in its memory in 2000. In 1998, the district was the first on Long Island to approve breathalyzer testing of students. All of the district's schools were temporarily closed on March 16, 2020, and the following months, due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
