Park is a proud, close knit community. We provide our students with a globally com-petitive education, and our graduates contin-ue to attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universi-ties across the coun-try. The KPCSD is a great place to live and raise a family. Feel free to call us should you have any ques-tions regarding our schools, programs, and offerings.

Educating children is not an isolated activi-ty, but rather a col-lective and collabora-tive one. As the Afri-can proverb states, "It takes a whole vil-lage to raise a child." I feel very fortunate to be able to serve in Kings Park and to have the opportunity to build bridges with the community and move this great American school dis-trict forward. Our staff is second to none! Our teachers

are skilled and commit-ted to meeting the needs of all children. Our ad-ministration is reflective and responsive. Kings

Kings Park is a suburban

hamlet in Suffolk County

located on Long Island’s

north shore in the Town

of Smithtown. Kings

east of New York City.

middle of the town.

Kings Park is a small,

close-knit community.

Sunken Meadow State

Park and Nissequogue

River State Park are two

of the many treasures lo-

cated within the school

district. Since we border

both the Long Island

Sound and Nissequogue

River, water sports such

as fishing, sailing, and

boating are very popular.

Trails for biking, walk-

ing, or jogging, as well as

several local golf courses,

provide ample opportuni-

ties to enjoy the outdoors.

Summer time events also

include: a weekly

Farmer’s Market (on Sun-

days, a weekly car show

on Thursdays and Music

on Main live music every

Friday evening. Addition-

ally, we have annual

events such as St. Pat-

rick’s and Memorial Day
