The Mount Sinai School District is located on the North Shore of Long Island in Suffolk County, New York. Our schools (elementary, middle, and high school) are contained on a 65-acre campus-like site. The school district serves approximately 13,000 residents with a school population of 2000. Families are drawn to the peaceful hamlet of Mount Sinai and its excellent schools.
All facilities incorporate state-of-the-art technology designed to prepare all students to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Our goal is to provide an engaging and high standard learning environment that offers scholastic opportunities for all students to meet their individual levels of excellence.
The history of the Mount Sinai community began as a small farming and fishing hamlet in the 1600s. Over the next 300 years, there were many changes in the economic structure of this community, but the one element that remained constant was the value of education. A one-room schoolhouse built in 1869 had a second room added to it in 1908. This school remained in operation until 1960 when it was torn down and the existing Mount Sinai students were then sent to Port Jefferson for their education. In 1965, a new elementary school was built in the community. A middle school was added in 1978, and in 1991 our K-12 district was completed with the addition of a high school. A well-conceived and updated sports complex has since been added to the campus, which encourages participation in a variety of athletic endeavors for many students. At Mount Sinai, the physical, social and emotional well-being of the student population is just as important as their academic success. These characteristics are the ideals behind the district motto: “The best in learning and living.”
