The White Plains Public Schools are pleased to participate in this publication of the Westchester Business Journal celebrating White Plains. With over 1,000 employees and a budget of over $250 million, we are one of the larger business entities in the city.
As one of the most future-focused school districts in the nation, we are at the center of a vibrant, diverse, dynamic community which strongly supports public education. Our primary emphasis is on
embracing the whole child and nurturing a child’s overall well-being, with equal emphasis on academic achievement, healthy social emotional development and civic responsibility. Exceptional student/staff ratios and a robust complement of support services, enrichment activities, advanced/college course offerings and honors options, a well as mandated services, enable us to meet the individual needs and interests of each of our approximately 7,000 students.
Innovations in recent years include an engineering program at the elementary level, Project Lead the Way, Education Pathway Program at the High School and the addition of Math Specialists in each building. These together with our Dual Language Program, our sixth-grade academy, with just the one grade on one campus, and a high school which offers over 300 courses, combine to provide a wealth of resources for our students.
All of these factors make White Plains a special place for our students to learn and grow and for our teachers to teach. We are #WPPROUD of all of our students, our amazing learning community and our city.
