Message from the Superintendent

Keene Central School, located in the heart of Keene Valley, NY, is a product of its environment. Surrounded by the High Peaks of the Adirondacks in a thriving, supportive community long known as a center for the arts and intellectual pursuits, Keene Central School (K-12) students have unique opportunities to pursue their academic, athletic, artistic, personal interests and goals.

The school and the community have forged strong partnerships that provide our students with a deeply felt connection to our town, region, nation, and the world.

A talented and experienced faculty, small class sizes, educational technology, and the support and financial commitment of the community insure that each student receives the guidance and resources he or she needs to achieve success.

At Keene Central School we define success in many different ways. Success for some students will mean acceptance at a desired college or university, or it may mean competing in athletics or pursuing a career in the arts.

For others, success may be defined as contributing to our local community as a tradesperson or small business owner or serving our country as a member of the military. There is one common thread that is at the core of the success of each of our students: wherever life takes them, they will always belong to the Keene Central School District family.
