The Hammondsport Central School District will be closed on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, due to the weather. Thank you and have a great day.
What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season! 🧡 Mrs. Buckley's PK Class put on a fantastic performance at the Fred & Harriett Taylor Memorial Library's Thanksgiving Pageant on Friday, November 21st. They sang five fantastic songs for the community! We are so proud of our little singers!

Hammondsport Central School will be operating on a 2 hour delay today!!
Our students were buzzing with excitement on Thursday, November 13, 2025, as we welcomed acclaimed author and illustrator James Burks for a full day of creative inspiration and literacy celebration.
Burks is best known for his popular picture books and beloved graphic novel series, including Bird & Squirrel, Agent Nine, and Box Tales. During multiple assemblies, students learned how Burks develops story ideas, designs engaging characters, and turns imagination into published books that readers of all ages adore.

Grade 7-12 Parent Conference

Today, we held our annual Veterans Day ceremony, a truly meaningful event for our whole school community!
We were so proud of our 6th graders who read thoughtful essays about what Veterans Day means to them. Their words truly captured the spirit of service and gratitude. We were honored to welcome our local heroes onto the stage to personally recognize and honor their invaluable service to our country.
Our elementary students added a touch of beauty with a heartfelt song as part of the ceremony. It was a wonderful way to show respect.
The ceremony concluded with all of our students participating in the tradition of placing their flags outside to commemorate this important day.
Thank you to all who serve and have served! We are grateful for your sacrifice and dedication. #VeteransDay #HonorOurVets #CommunityLove #SchoolEvent

🐢 Our 4th Graders recently had an incredible opportunity to learn history through the power of storytelling!
We were honored to host Perry Ground, a Turtle Clan member of the Onondaga Nation, who shared the rich culture, beliefs, and history of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (sometimes known as Iroquois).
Perry has been telling stories for over 25 years, and his energetic, fun, and engaging style made our students part of the experience. It was a wonderful way to bring history and culture to life!
