It was first established in 1937 through the combination of smaller school districts in the Goshen area. It uses the original high school building at the corner of Main (NY 207) and Erie streets, just across from the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame and next to the Orange County Government Center, as its main office.
Schools
The district is organized so that each school handles the district's entire student population at their grade level.
Central and Union Free school districts are authorized to operate high schools, though not all do, while common school districts may not operate high schools.
