Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School District is a school district headquartered in the Hostetter Leadership Center in Burnt Hills, a hamlet in Ballston, New York.[1] In addition to the town of Ballston (including the hamlets of Burnt Hills and Ballston Lake), it also serves Charlton, Clifton Park, and Glenville.[2]

The district was established in 1915 so residents could have their own local high school instead of paying to send their pupils to surrounding schools. It was formed out of three existing districts, each having one-room schoolhouses, making it the first consolidated school district in the state. Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School of Agriculture & Homemaking was established in 1916 and the first high school students graduated in 1920. In the early 1930s, the front facing side of what is now Francis L. Stevens Elementary had burnt down, and was rescontructed. Fourteen additional districts joined in the period 1925 to 1962, all of which had one-room schoolhouses.[3] Pashley, the first building with the intent of teaching grades K-6 was built in the early 1950s to support the baby boom after World War II, and the other buildings had been constructed throughout the 1950s and 60s.
