Bill > J00787

This resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Shenendehowa Central School District, which will be celebrated on May 17, 2025. The district was originally organized on January 14, 1950, by consolidating 22 schools across several towns in Saratoga County, New York, including Clifton Park, Halfmoon, and Malta. Covering approximately 86 square miles, the district's name derives from the Iroquois word "Shenendahowe," meaning "Great Plains," and it has grown to become the largest school district in Saratoga County with over 9,500 students. The resolution highlights the district's commitment to educational excellence, its athletic programs (known as the Plainsmen), and its ongoing mission to help students develop knowledge, skills, and character. The legislative body recognizes the district's achievements and pauses to commemorate its 75 years of service, praising its leadership under Superintendent Dr. L. Oliver Robinson and its contributions to preparing youth for future leadership. The resolution will be transmitted to Dr. Robinson and the School District's Board of Education as a formal acknowledgment of the district's significant milestone.
