The Cairo-Durham Central School District is home to approximately 1,200 students. Situated in a close-knit, rural community, our district is comprised of three schools operating within two buildings: Cairo-Durham High School, Cairo-Durham Middle School and Cairo-Durham Elementary School.

Our schools are centers of learning and community life. For instance, community members, parents and students enjoy our state-of-the-art media center, high school concerts and sporting events.

In addition, our district is a leader among New York State schools in enabling Internet connections, wireless networking, audio/video equipment in every classroom, and establishing fully networked computer labs in each school. In 2017, Cairo-Durham was awarded the status of a Google for Education Reference District. CDCSD joins about 150 school districts nationwide—and only 11 districts in New York State—in receiving this status.

It is our community connection and ability to advance learning through technology and innovation that makes us unique. Our classroom and curriculum innovations allow us to succeed.

The success of every student is important to us. It is for our students that we continue to explore new ways to help them to excel, not just succeed, in school and in life.
