Greenville Central School District is located between the historic Hudson River, the spectacular Catskill Mountains and the growing Tech Valley region.

The Greenville Central School District serves students who reside in Albany and Greene Counties with the school campus, centrally located in the Town of Greenville, on the northern edge of Greene County. The school district, which encompasses eleven (11) townships, is approximately 135 square miles in area.

The surrounding area boasts of a unique variety educational and cultural enrichment sites. Adjacent to our school campus, Community Partners of Greenville works with the school and the town to provide for recreational activities in the adjacent Vanderbilt Park as well as organizes music, carnival and art events for the school's rural communities.

Greenville Central School District has a rich history as an extension of one of the earliest chartered schools in New York State. The Greenville Academy was established by the Regents of the University of the State of New York on February 27, 1816. Although the Academy served local students, many students boarded with area families in order to complete their studies. Martin Van Buren, who would later become the President of the United States, made similar arrangements for his son to attend the Greenville Academy.

Greenville Central School District, the first centralized school district in Greene County, opened its doors to students in 1932. This historic event took place at the height of the Great Depression, and allowed 458 students, who had previously attended one-room school houses, access to modern learning opportunities.

Greenville Educational Foundation

The mission of the Greenville Educational Foundation is to strengthen and enhance the experience of students in the Greenville Central School District by sponsoring program innovations for students and supporting superior teaching and educational leadership. Passionate about excellence in education, the Foundation actively seeks the involvement of individuals, families, businesses and friends of Greenville in all of its initiatives and efforts.

As a grassroots nonprofit, tax-exempt foundation serving the community, the Foundation serves to build the school/community partnership in several ways. Since it receives no tax dollars, the Foundation is an independent organization that works in cooperation with the school district and the Board of Education. Unlike public agencies and PTO’S, the Foundation can create an endowment to generate long-term financial support and enrichment for our children.

Potter Hollow Schoolhouse

Constructed in 1853, the Potter Hollow School House was once one of 24 one-room school houses in the Town of Rensselaerville. Located in Potter Hollow, New York it's a 1.5 story building constructed in a rectangular timber frame, and restored with local materials thanks to the Greenville Educational Foundation. The school closed its doors in 1954. Greenville Central School District, established in 1930, currently owns the school house and uses it to give students a glimpse into the values of education in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
