Westhampton Beach School District

What Westhampton Beach School District does

Westhampton Beach School District (legally Westhampton Beach UFSD) is a New York State-chartered public K-12 school district serving approximately 1,796 students across three schools: Westhampton Beach Elementary School (grades K-5), Westhampton Beach Middle School (grades 6-8), and Westhampton Beach High School (grades 9-12). The district employs 332 dedicated faculty and staff and is governed by an elected Board of Education under New York State Education Department oversight. Founded circa 1908, the district recently held its 118th commencement exercises in June 2026.

The district's core delivery model is traditional public education, supplemented by 34 advanced placement and college-level courses, a comprehensive athletics program of 60 interscholastic teams, and performing arts programs engaging 648 students in band and chorus. Its technology stack is utilitarian and consists of PowerSchool as the student information system, Google Workspace for Education for staff communication, a 1:1 mobile learning initiative deploying 1,963 devices, and integrations with SchoolNutritionAndFitness for the WHB Cafe meal program and PayPal for foundation donations. The district maintains a Wall of Fame (established 2002) and a Business Advisory Board, and is supported by the Hurricane Educational Foundation, an independent not-for-profit that channels community donations into capital projects and innovative programming.

Westhampton Beach UFSD is a government entity funded through local property taxes, New York State education aid, and federal grants including Education Stabilization Fund Grants. It is not a commercial enterprise: tuition is free for in-district residents, and revenue-model distinctions between operating and capital budgets are standard for public school districts. Capital financing has been used aggressively, with voters approving a $33 million capital improvement bond in 2022 to fund three phases of facility upgrades (turf field/track, bleachers, windows, elevators, cafeteria). A follow-on 2025 Bond Vote is referenced on the district website. The customer base is geographically defined: district-resident families with school-age children and the broader Westhampton Beach community that supports the schools through volunteer, advisory, and philanthropic engagement.
