Pocantico Hills CSD

The District’s mission is built upon our strategic framework for a Portrait of a Graduate which ensures rigorous academic programs with high expectations for all, and are delivered in a personalized learning environment where every individual student is known and cared for.  From Junior Pre-Kindergarten to eighth grade, students attend the central school campus and then make the choice to attend Briarcliff High School, Pleasantville High School or Sleepy Hollow High School.

Opportunities to explore interdisciplinary connections and make learning relevant and meaningful extend from a strong core academic program to include the fine and performing arts, science, technology, home and careers, gardening, physical education, world languages, and health and well-being.  Pocantico Hills graduates demonstrate a record of achievement we can be proud of, attending a wide range of impressive colleges and universities.  The district embraces the concept of community on campus, building partnerships with local industry and organizations and developing civic responsibility through service.  The District is supported in its work by a very active PTA and Foundation, which have raised funds to support initiatives such as artists in residence, playground equipment, and STEM programming. Pocantico Hills also provides recreation programs for all district residents during the summer months; there is an Olympic sized swimming pool, a child’s pool, a new tennis court complex (tennis, pickleball, futsal, basketball, shuffleboard), and picnic area.  The District also runs a six-week day camp for students during the summer, which is open to non-residents as well.
