With our children as our focus, and with accountability and honesty as our guiding principles, Schenevus Central School will provide a caring, stable, secure and academically challenging environment; one that motivates each student to discover, practice and master the skills to pursue a productive lifetime of work and learning within our community, and the world.

The Schenevus Central School District traces its roots back to 1800 when the first log cabin schoolhouse was built in the area. The area boasts a rich educational history, including being the birthplace of Andrew S. Draper, who was New York’s first Commissioner of Education in 1904. The district was called the Andrew S. Draper Central School District from 1938 to 1993.

The district educates around 275 students in grades K-12. We provide our students with a rich learning experience steeped in the area’s history, while also providing a variety of extracurricular and athletic opportunities to help all our students succeed.

Schenevus CSD is located in beautiful Otsego County, New York, encompassing the towns of Maryland and Westford.

The Schenevus Dragons Parent-Teacher Organization is a group of parents, teachers and staff who have come together to encourage and facilitate parental participation in the school.
