The District serves 2,082 students in five schools. Our main campus encompasses the High School, Middle School/Intermediate School. Our Primary Schools are located in the surrounding towns of Elma, Marilla, and Wales.
There are 21 churches in the district and many active service clubs. The State University of New York at Buffalo, The State University College at Buffalo, Canisius, Daemen, D'Youville, Trocaire and Erie Community Colleges are all located in the immediate area. In addition, the City of Buffalo offers nearly every type of cultural and recreational activity including a renowned Philharmonic Orchestra, a National Football League Team, a National Hockey League Team, a minor league baseball team, and the world famous Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The area also boasts an excellent range of live theater and entertainment opportunities, including Shea's Performing Arts Center and Art Park.
The Iroquois Central School District enjoys a high level of parent and community involvement. Residents participate in Site Based Management Teams, volunteer programs and school advisory committees. Parents and community members participate in monthly meetings with the Superintendent and are encouraged to attend board of education meetings. The Board of Education stresses the importance of shared-decision making at all levels of district operation.
