It was in the mid-1600s that the Hewlett-Woodmere area was first settled. Mr. Samuel Wood and the Hewlett family were the area’s foremost developers. A one-room schoolhouse was built in Hewlett and the first high school opened its doors to students in 1894.

Today, the district is comprised of five schools, servicing approximately 3,000 students in pre-k through twelfth grade.
