Our Community

The Fallsburg Central School District is comprised of two outstanding schools. Benjamin Cosor Elementary School (serving grades preK-6), and the Fallsburg Jr./Sr. High School, (serving grades 7-12). These schools serve a multi-cultural community of approximately 20,000 in the areas of Fallsburg, South Fallsburg, Glen Wild, Greenfield Park, Hurleyville, Loch Sheldrake, Mountaindale, Woodbourne and Woodridge. The communities are located in eastern Sullivan County approximately 90 miles from New York City. The communities in the district provide opportunities for suburban, village and rural life styles.

Our Mission

The Educational Mission is one of excellence which prevails throughout the many District programs. Excellence is achieved by creating a supportive environment in which children can learn .

The community is invited to be involved in restructuring our educational programs to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. The district promotes community participation through Shared Decision Making, Outreach and Mentorship programs, and the development and implementation of our Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) (Please use link below to download file). Our students are encouraged to understand that all young people are capable of learning and it is important that each one fulfills his or her maximum potential. The District is guided by a Superintendent and Board of Education made up of nine community members elected to three year terms.
