About The School:
Our school district is comprised of three educational facilities located on a 115 acre campus on Ninth District Road. Our campus is also home to the town's public library. In addition our campus borders the town's main recreational center. Finally, the campus is also home to the Somers Environmental Center which is a two acre wetlands classroom. We have recognized this unique setting as the Somers Educational Complex and our driveway, nicknamed "Vision Boulevard", receives much traffic each day. Somers has been recognized as a model in both its design and technology infrastructure.
Over 1,750 students attend school each day at the campus. Our district is growing. We are currently under construction at the Mabelle B. Avery Middle School (grades 6-8) and Central Office has moved to their temporary quarters in Somers High School. Our high school and elementary school have recently finished their renovations. The campus setting has afforded us the opportunity to be together sharing and enjoying each other's resources as we learn together. Each building is connected via cable for data, voice, and video exchange for internal communications, as well as access to the world by the Connecticut Education Network.
