Wappingers Central School District (WCSD) is a school district headquartered in the town of East Fishkill, New York, on Corporate Park Drive.

History

On November 30, 1937, in the southern portion of Dutchess County, New York, there was a meeting held to determine the consolidation of area school districts. The district was created after a September 1938 vote within all or portions of several communities in Dutchess and Putnam counties, including Wappinger, East Fishkill, Fishkill, and Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County and Kent and Philipstown in Putnam County, approved the establishment of the WCSD. Upon opening the district had attained 11 schools. In the 1950s the East Fishkill Number 6, Gayhead, Old Hopewell, Shenendoah, and Stormville school districts were consolidated into the Wappingers district.^[2]
