History

The School District was created by the New York Legislature in 1898. As early as 1850 there was a one-room school house in the area. As the area grew rapidly in the postwar period, 4 schools were built between 1949 and 1961. [1] Woodmere Education Center was originally Hewlett-Woodmere’s Elementary, Middle and High School from Grades Kindergarten to Grade 12, and later, it just became Hewlett-Woodmere’s Middle and High School which were grades 7 through 12.

Franklin Early Childhood Center

Franklin Early Childhood Center was opened in 1903 as Franklin Elementary School, serving students K through 6th grades. In 1983, The Early Childhood Programs in Woodmere Education Center (which housed Pre-K), moved into Franklin Elementary School which changed the name to Franklin Early Childhood Center. In 1983, students from grades 2 through 6 were moved to Hewlett Elementary School or Ogden Elementary School. Hewlett and Ogden Elementary Schools also moved their kindergarteners and first graders to Franklin Early Childhood Center.

Hewlett Elementary School

In 1929, Hewlett Elementary School was constructed with 12 classrooms altogether. This design stayed for 20 years. In 1949, Hewlett got renovated and built 21 more classrooms due to the increased popularity. Hewlett was a Kindergarten to Grade 5 school. In 1984, when Franklin became a Childhood Center, Hewlett’s Kindergartners and First Graders left and moved to Franklin. Franklin in return, gave Hewlett half of their second to sixth graders. Hewlett had a renovation in 1993, as they built 5 more classrooms due to the increased amount of students.

Ogden Elementary School

Because of the increased popularity in Hewlett Elementary, Ogden Elementary was constructed in 1954. Ogden was also a K-5 school. In 1983, Ogden traded K and Grade 1, for Grade 2 to Grade 6 students.

Woodmere Middle School and George W. Hewlett High School

In 1961, due to overcrowding, Woodmere Middle School was opened in 1961. In 1984, Woodmere gave their 9th graders to Hewlett High, and Hewlett and Ogden and Franklin gave them their sixth graders. A huge renovation happened in 2009, and Woodmere Middle School is open with 701 students in classes.
