ROTTERDAM-MOHONASEN CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Mohonasen Central School District draws most of its students from the town of Rotterdam – however, students also come from the towns of Colonie and Guilderland. Mohonasen is a Suburban Council school district that serves about 3,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. We have two elementary schools: Bradt Primary School, which serves students in grades K-2, and Pinewood Intermediate School, which serves students in grades 3-5. Draper Middle School serves students in grades 6-8 and Mohonasen High School serves students in grades 9-12. Mohonasen’s students consistently achieve high marks on state exams, and our schools are among the top-performing schools in the region. Our instructional staff consists of roughly 250 professionals, who are supported by six academic administrators and eight principals and assistant principals. Our students are also actively involved in many music and theater performance groups, including the Mohon Masque Theatre Group, which has a reputation for outstanding performances and plays to packed houses year after year. Additionally, roughly 40 percent of all students are involved in at least one interscholastic sport. The district’s attendance rate averages 96 percent a year. All district activities, programs, and goals are funded by an annual budget of roughly $43 million.
