School-community partnership

 

The Duanesburg Central School District realizes that education is not an isolated activity allotted solely to the school during school hours. To that end, the district has developed a powerful network of school-community partnerships that are jointly dedicated to providing the best education possible to all members of the community. Some of these committees and organizations are:

  • > Continuing Education – Providing extensive course offerings to adults for both the fall and spring semesters.
  • > Duanesburg Education Foundation - The foundation raises and collects funds to help support students and academic programs in Duanesburg.
  • > Duanesburg Day - A community-wide celebration designed to develop awareness and pride in the area's local history, heritage and culture.
  • > Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) - Supporting various activities and scholarship programs.
  • > Site Based Teams - Parents, administrators, teachers, staff and students dedicated to improving the overall academic program.
  • > Booster Club - Supporting the district's after-school athletic program.
  • > Proctor's TheatreSince 2009, the district has benefited from an arts-in-education grant from Proctor's Theatre, which affords students districtwide the opportunity to attend live performances, educational programs and films as well as an in-depth residency program. 
  • > Auditorium Committee - In 2008, a grassroots group of parents and teachers formed a committee in an effort to begin raising money to fund an architectural study and auditorium building project within the Duanesburg Central School District.
