About us
Red Hook prides itself on providing a well-balanced curriculum and related services geared to the needs of the individual student. Our schools are known for their excellence in academic performance, comprehensive arts-in-education programs, and success in athletics. The highly qualified faculty members, including our administrators, continually hone their skills by participating in a wide variety of in-service opportunities such as conferences, workshops, and committee work. The support staff works diligently to provide a safe and healthy environment in the school buildings, cafeterias, buses, and playing fields. Our Board of Education is active in developing the policies that make all of these things possible, using limited and diminishing external resources.

The Red Hook schools are home to an increasingly diverse student body. Services are provided to the English Language Learners, children with special educational needs, and students with exceptional talents and gifts. We are staffed with psychologists, guidance counselors, nurses, social workers, and a student assistance counselor who work together to ensure that each child learns in the best possible environment. Our schools are dynamic learning systems in which everyone is expected to grow and learn
