Valley Central High School is located in Montgomery, New York. It educates students in grades 9-12 in the Valley Central School District, which includes much of the town of Montgomery, portions of neighboring Wallkill and Newburgh and the three villages of Maybrook, Montgomery and Walden as well as parts of Campbell Hall and Coldenham.

The building was constructed in 1961, with some additions in the 1990s. It has a wide lower level and a smaller second story. It is joined to the adjacent Valley Central Middle School.

History

"Centralization" to the Town of Montgomery immediately brought the hope that new structures would soon be underway to house the bulging classrooms of the three village schools and the rural school at St. Andrews. On July 2, 1958, when the new centralized district was one day old, the unofficially-named "Montgomery Central School District" held its organizational election and voted to seat nine members on the Board of Education.

As soon as the election was complete, discussions about new buildings began. In January 1959 the voters selected the Russell Site as the home for the proposed East Coldenham Elementary School, and the Muller Site for the junior and senior high schools. The following June, the voters approved a $4.2 million bond issue for the construction of these new buildings and renovation of the existing schools. By mid-March 1960, men and machinery had begun construction of what was to become, at the time, Valley Central Jr.-Sr. High School. After 18 months of labor, the new building opened on September 9, 1961.

The rear corridor runs all the way from the building exit near the gym on the east side to the middle school, almost a half-mile in length. There are several courtyards in the building, but they are rarely used today. School Colors are Blue and White.

The building has about 1,700 students currently enrolled with 9-12 grades counting in. The class of 2011 is the largest class to date.
