The Sewanhaka Central High School District was founded in 1926 as a "Central High School" to serve the then sparsely populated communities that made up part of Nassau County.  By the late 1950´s, the post war baby boom had changed the single high school into a Central High School District with five buildings, serving students in grades 7 through 12.  Located in the western portion of Nassau County, bordering the New York City borough of Queens, the District is the residence of roughly 135,000 people in four local communities: Floral Park/Bellerose, New Hyde Park/Garden City Park, Franklin Square and Elmont.  Each community supports a component elementary district and sends two trustees to the Sewanhaka Board of Education.  The five district high schools are home to over 8,600 students and 700 professional staff.  Though the income range is wide, the people are primarily homeowners and taxpayers and share a fierce pride in the quality of their individual schools.

Elementary Schools
The Floral Park-Bellerose Elementary School District is responsible for the education of approximately 1870 students housed in the Floral Park-Bellerose and John Lewis Childs schools. It requires the services of approximately 160 people of various skills and talents to operate both these facilities. Part of the operating cost of the school district is borne by the local property tax paid by the resident taxpayers. The community elects five individuals to serve on the school board for a three-year term. Board members serve without pay. They are responsible for setting policy, hiring all personnel, budgets and other related school matters.
