Half Hollow Hills Central School District, school district in Suffolk County, New York State
Half Hollow Hills Central School District is a public school system in Suffolk County on Long Island serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district comprises five elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools that combine academic programs with athletics and arts activities.
The district was established in 1954 when three smaller school districts merged to serve local families and their educational needs. Over time, the district adapted as communities grew and enrollment shifted, resulting in school closures and reopenings like Sunquam Elementary.
The district's name reflects its location in rolling terrain on Long Island. Students and staff demonstrate shared values of honesty, kindness, and responsibility that shape daily interactions throughout the schools.
The district's main office is located at 525 Half Hollow Road in Dix Hills where administrative offices and community programs are housed. Parents and visitors can find information about enrollment, activities, and programs on the district website and attend regular open house events to learn more about school offerings.
High School East features a large auditorium and planetarium where students can learn about stars and planets, with a stage similar to Broadway theaters. The district has produced notable alumni including Ralph Macchio from the Karate Kid film and a National Hockey League commissioner.
