History of the Mamaroneck School District The Mamaroneck Union Free School District was incorporated in the early 1800's, though it was not chartered by the state until 1898. The Board of Education's minutes from November 18, 1887, stated, "No better investment can be made for the children of our district than to educate them thoroughly and well; they will then have the intelligence which adapts itself to every condition of life and makes most of opportunity. Every farm, every piece of property, has a value added to it by public schools of a high grade cheerfully sustained by the taxpayers." Only elementary school subjects were taught until 1887, when the Board of Education established a "high graded school." That school became what is now the Town Center. When built, it was called the "new school," and in 1905 became "Central School."
