Congratulations graduates! Congratulations to Schoharie Jr./Sr. High School's Class of 2014, who celebrated graduation on a sunny and beautiful June 28! This year's class has won many awards, received many honors and will follow many exciting paths into the future. Receiving special recognition at the ceremony were students who will enter military service, outgoing Board of Education President Linda Isles and retiring Superintendent Brian Sherman and Music Director Mark Pracher. VIEW PHOTO GALLERY Elementary students honored on Moving-Up Day Schoharie Elementary held its annual Moving-Up Day on June 26, where students celebrated their accomplishments and were honored with awards and recognition for their good work throughout the past school year. Highlights of the day included presentation the New York State Attorney General Triple C Award, which was presented by Sheila Hay-Gillespie of the State Attorney General's Office in honor of students' character, courage and commitment. VIEW PHOTO GALLERY The NYS Property Tax Freeze Credit and you When New York passed its state budget, it enacted a property tax freeze credit for homeowners. The credit will be implemented as rebate checks for STAR-eligible homeowners based on property taxes levied by school districts and municipalities (village, town, county, library, etc.) that are subject to the property tax levy cap. If a school district’s adopted tax levy is under the cap, as Schoharie Central’s is, homeowners will receive a rebate for the increase in their school taxes for the 2014-15 year.

I recently enjoyed a visit from Quinn, who is SCS faculty member Jenn Bellen's daughter. I'm thinking she is a true Buckles fan! Read the latest "pupdates" from Buckles, Schoharie Central School's social therapeutic classroom assistance dog. Buckles was awarded to Schoharie for receiving the most votes in the 2012 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow grant competition. Looking for more news? Visit our District News Archive
