About Us

Our District

The Westmoreland Central School District is located in Westmoreland; a small, rural community located in Central New York between the cities of Utica and Rome and just off the New York State Thruway (Exit 32).

Along with serving the children of Westmoreland, the district serves students from parts of six other neighboring municipalities: Rome, Whitestown, Vernon,  Kirkland, Clinton and Lowell.

The district's roughly 1,000 students attend school in one of three buildings which, together, make up the school campus: a PK-2 Primary Elementary School, a 3-6 Upper Elementary School and a 7-12 Jr./Sr. High School.

The district has approximately 90 instructional and 80 school-related staff members.

Our Vision

All students will strive towards individual excellence, become independent thinkers, be meaningful contributors and life-long learners, embrace who they are and look forward to who they can become as they prepare to be respectful, productive citizens in a diverse and evolving society.

Our Mission

The Westmoreland Central School District will work collaboratively with the entire community to maintain a safe and nurturing learning environment where high expectations are the norm and risk-taking, rigor, creativity, independence, and innovation are valued and fostered.

We Believe

  • Every student possesses a passion for something positive and that we can nurture that passion by building a relationship with each and every student.

  • Our staff, by modeling a love for learning and creating an expectation of excellence, will help students to realize their talents and ignite a desire to learn.

  • A motivated and passionate staff is essential to achieving student success.

  • All stakeholders should regularly promote and engage in two-way communication that is respectful, proactive, supportive, efficient and accessible.

  • We cannot grow without embracing change. We welcome and encourage new ideas, ongoing professional development opportunities, innovations and resourcefulness - and the continuous improvements gained as a result.

  • Staff and students share the responsibility to ensure collective success.
