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

Hewlett-Woodmere schools, Hewlett and Ogden Elementary Schools were overcrowded and needed more space. So, in 1983, The Early Childcare Programs, which started in 1966, in Woodmere Education Center moved to Franklin in 1984. Franklin originally opened as Franklin Elementary in 1983, teaching kids from Kindergarten to Grade 5. In 1984, Hewlett-Woodmere decided to move Grades K-5 students to Hewlett and Ogden. Hewlett Elementary has kids from Gibson to the eastern part of Hewlett. Ogden takes the western side of Hewlett. Franklin Elementary School turned into Franklin Early Childhood Center, starting September 1984. During the 1990s, Franklin added Kindergarten and Grade 1, and the programs are still there today.

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.
