Sag Harbor Union Free School District is a public school district located primarily in the Town of Southampton, with a small portion in the Town of East Hampton, on Long Island, in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It services the villages of Sag Harbor and North Haven, the majority of the hamlet of Noyack, as well as portions of the unincorporated communities of Sag Harbor and Sagaponack.[8]
The total enrollment for the 2019–2020 school year was 919 students.[6]
Sag Harbor is bordered by the Southampton and Bridgehampton school districts to the southwest, the Sagaponack and Wainscott districts to the south, and the East Hampton district to the southeast.[8][9]
Sag Harbor's original school district, the Union School District, was founded in 1862. The Union School operated out of a building on Main Street that now serves as the village's municipal building.[1]
In 2015–2016, the Sag Harbor School District was designated as a Reward School by New York State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia.[10]
In 2015, Sag Harbor UFSD ranked #21 of all school districts on Long Island in average SAT score.[11]
The current superintendent, Jeff Nichols, has held the role since May 2020. Nichols was the high school principal for 20 years and filled in as Acting Superintendent twice in 2019.[12] The prior superintendent, Katy Graves, left in January 2020 to become the director of the nearby Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center in East Hampton.[12] The district's offices are on the site of the Middle-High School at 200 Jermain Avenue.
