The Elmsford Union Free School District's pursuit of educational excellence in a caring environment is a goal shared by residents, teachers and school administrators alike.

    Partnership
    Alexander Hamilton is the first Westchester County High School to become a Professional Development School (PDS). Alexander Hamilton and Manhattanville College have developed a strong partnership that will benefit all involved. The PDS initiative incorporates the Pre K-12 educational experience with colleges to prepare teacher candidates, provide faculty professional development, improve instructional practices, and enhance student learning. This clinical practice will produce a group of teacher candidates who will be ready to face the challenges presented in educating today's youth.
