They voted to form a central school district in order to equalize and increase opportunities for all children in the area. The newly-formed Silver Creek Central School District extends from the time-honored Cattaraugus Indian Reservation to the shores of Lake Erie. It includes parts of the towns of Hanover and Sheridan and a small section of Brant, in the vicinity of Irving. In addition to the elementary and high schools in the village of Silver Creek, seven outlying elementary schools are operating at present. Additional art, music, nurse and dental service have been extended to these component schools, Soon a building program will give to all students improvements in the curriculum along with such material benefits as better plant and transportation facilities. Already plans are being made for expansion, certainly a necessity: the +8 seniors who leave in June will be replaced by 120 new students entering the system next September. A Building Survey Committee, composed of interested citizens, has investigated schools in other communities and its members have met with State Edu- cation Department oflicials and the Board of Education to discuss the building problems of the new district. Final recommendations of the Building Survey Committee were: 1. That the new building to be erected should be a junior-senior high school. 2 That the board select sites for the building with a minimum of 50 acres of land. 3. That the present high school building be converted into an elementary school. 4 That the board engage an architect to prepare estimates. The Board of Education has accepted these recommendations and is planning the selection of a site and the choice of an architect. In the near future the citizens of this district will be able to see their aspirations for their childrenls educa- tion taking material form as a fine new school building. In the meanwhile, the members of the Class of 1957 have the distinction of being the first graduates of the Silver Creek Central School. 6
