Education
The capital city recently opened a new $30 million Cony High School. Several other area communities are upgrading schools to assure the best educational opportunities for our children.
School systems within the Capital Area are strongly committed to the educational, social and personal development of our children. Our schools are noted for fine academic programs, which have prepared students for the best colleges in the country. To meet the needs of a diverse student population, schools offer special needs and honors programs, as well as alternative programs for students interested in exploring non-traditional environments. For more information, contact the superintendent’s office of the city or town of interest.
