Our History

Education began in Epping Forest, New York in 1817 when Carrie Iversen became the first teacher in Epping Forest. She taught a class of 16 students in a log cabin located on the west side of town until the first schoolhouse was built. Since that time many educators and boards of education have been committed to the education of the youth in the area.
