The Hastings-on-Hudson School District, which includes all of the village of Hastings-on-Hudson and a portion of the Town of Greenburgh, consists of three schools: Hillside Elementary School, Farragut Middle School, and Hastings High School. The district enjoys a stable population base, and the more than 7,800 residents strongly support our program as evidenced by their participation in district events and by their continual support of the school district budget. The community has high academic expectations. These expectations are reflected in the training, experience, skills and abilities of the school district’s staff members and the outstanding achievements of the students. Staff members actively promote parental and community member involvement in the educational process and in school events. At Hastings, continuous attention is given to establishing a strong groundwork so that each child develops, and maintains, delight in the world of education. Students are encouraged to explore and inquire. The Hastings Schools allow each student to experience the joy of doing, learning and becoming. Teachers focus on the development and promotion of academic and cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and appreciation for the arts, society and the world. Extra-curricular activities are an integral part of the school experience and a vast majority of the student body participates in a wide variety of sports and clubs. Students’ individual needs are understood and addressed. Because of the size of the district, staff members know each student and each family. A dedicated Board of Education, a very strong leadership team, exceptional teachers, high expectations for student achievement, help for parents in developing methods to assist their children, concern for the total development of all students and strong community support are important contributors to the success of the Hastings-on-Hudson schools.
