Camp Onyahsa is a place where children can build social skills, connect with positive role models, develop independence and responsibility, learn new skills, become stronger swimmers, read, exercise, make friends, and spend time in nature.
Camp Onyahsa also strives to make these opportunities as accessible as possible. With the support of local and regional donors, they have partial and full scholarships available for Chautauqua County residents. No child is turned away from camp because of an inability to pay.

On Thursday, February 26, 2026 both of our buildings (MHS & SES) will conduct planned lockdown drills as part of our ongoing commitment to safety and emergency preparedness. New York State law requires public schools to notify parents about a planned lockdown drill to ensure safety and reduce potential trauma for students and staff.
These drills are scheduled in advance and provide an important opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to practice lockdown procedures in a calm and structured environment.
Following the drills, building administrators will meet with faculty and staff to debrief and identify practical ways to further enhance safety protocols.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at MHS or SES.
Our MHS Pep Rally wrapped up Spirit Week in the BEST way possible! 🎊🔥 Friday afternoon, the gym was absolutely buzzing with class pride, nonstop cheers, and incredible school spirit as we headed into mid-winter break!

Each day, nearly 480,000 school buses transport students nationwide — and behind every single bus is a dedicated professional committed to getting students to and from school safely. Our transportation staff members are truly the first smiling faces of the school day and the last caring send-off in the afternoon.
Their work goes far beyond driving. They carefully inspect vehicles, navigate challenging road conditions, manage student behavior, and help create a safe, welcoming environment for every child who steps onto the bus. They play a vital role in student safety, well-being, and the positive experience our families have with our district.
To our drivers and transportation team — thank you for your patience, your commitment, and the care you show our students each and every day. We appreciate you not just during Love the Bus Week, but all year long! 🚌💙♥️
