The first school in the area was taught by Revolutionary War soldier Christopher Darrow. As the area’s population increased each local hamlet provided a schoolhouse for their children. In 1946, multiple schoolhouses consolidated into a Union Free District. In 1958, Tri-Valley became a central school district.
The Tri-Valley school building is a Pre-K to 12 facility all on one campus, which also includes the Iatauro Sports Complex, an administration building, a maintenance building, and two greenhouses.
Through the years, Tri-Valley has benefited from the work of many Board of Education members, administrators, faculty, and staff. Strong community support is a hallmark of the district.
Our Vision
Tri-Valley Central School is the foundation of our community. We will continue to build a school community with deep roots that will enable our children to excel in a changing world and that will enable our staff to continue to grow professionally. We will make available to our community a safe school facility that will be a place to support family activities through school activities and functions. Our focus will support community values and our educational plan will produce global-thinking students who will be effective communicators and lifelong learners.
