Fonda-Fultonville Central School District traces its
roots to the late 1700s, when students in both
communities were educated in small, privately owned
buildings. Around 1800, two formal school districts were
formed, and for the next 150 years, Fonda and
Fultonville operated those districts separately. In
1954, the two districts merged.
Today, the PreK-12 district serves more than 1,400
students on a single campus. A staff of nearly 170
teachers, administrators, aides, assistants, counselors,
clerical and support staff provide a well-rounded
educational program that emphasizes math, science and
technology as well as music, art, humanities and
athletics.
Like all small, rural schools in New York State,
Fonda-Fultonville has faced the fiscal challenges of the
times, making difficult decisions to preserve a sound
education for its students. Strong community and staff
involvement in the process has helped preserve district
programs.
The Capital Region Business Review just placed
Fonda-Fultonville among the top 20 schools in the
greater Capital Region for the second year in a row,
recognizing the quality of education provided by the
small district. [more]
