During the last 40 years, Copiague has grown into a cosmopolitan community, rich in cultural diversity. Commuters find its location convenient; it is on the main southern branch of the Long Island Railroad and a short distance from major parkways and airports. Our community has beaches, canals and marina dockage for hundreds of craft and is also close to shopping, cultural, sport, entertainment and higher educational facilities. Community Profile: As its name suggests, Copiague was originally inhabited by Indians who called it “Coppiage,” or “Place of Shelter.” Founded by the English and Dutch settlers in the early 1600's, the area was, for 300 years, a quiet country farming town. In the 1900's Copiague grew in fame as a summer retreat from New York City. Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the wireless telegraph, spent many vacations here as the guest of a young Italian engineer. Marconi Boulevard, located near the railroad station, is reminiscent of this historic era. Copiague has a long history of pride in its diversity and strong support for its educational institutions and youth activities. Residents strongly believe that the development of their community is dependent upon the attitudes and growth of its youth. Copiague enjoys a stable, committed Board of Education, healthy parental involvement, and a record of consistent approval of the budget by community members. Special District Features: « Our elementary program consists of a student-centered environment supported by a core of highly qualified teachers and support staff. « Our full-day kindergarten program combines purposeful play with academic readiness. « Our STEM program provides elementary students with an opportunity to work with teachers on projects beyond the scope of those offered in the standard curriculum. « An after-school child care program is available for elementary age children. « The middle school has adopted an innovative early adolescent instructional philosophy. This philosophy is recognition that in order to teach effectively the school must assist students through this time of transition in their development. « Students at the middle school follow a challenging schedule and are encouraged to participate in a variety of music, art, and interscholastic athletic activities of their choice. « Our high school students, through a unique variety of course offerings and placements, have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Students are also provided the opportunity to take numerous Advanced Placement courses, college-level courses and attend work preparation courses through our local BOCES. Copiague was recognized as an AP District of the Year. « Our music department has been voted one of the 100 Best in the Nation by the American Music Conference. Our championship Copiague High School Marching Band and award-winning Madrigal Choir provide the culminating performance experience for a performance program which begins in grade 3. « The March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon, the Annual Holiday Party for Handicapped Children and Young Adults, the Student and Staff Blood Drive, and the sponsorship of a Post-Prom Alcohol/Drug Free Party are among the activities that promote a positive self-image and a sense of humanity that is uniquely Copiague. « Our district embraces the challenge of providing meaningful learning experiences for our students through technological innovations. Our classrooms are equipped with Chromebooks/Laptops, Projectors, and Smartboards. Students and staff have a comprehensive set of software tools, online subscriptions and training programs available to assist them in the enhancement of curriculum and efficient operation of the entire school district.
