Valley Central Middle School educates students in grades 6-8 in the Valley Central School District in Orange County, New York. It is located on NY 17K just east of the village of Montgomery, connected to adjacent Valley Central High School. The school's 1,213 students[1] come from not only the village and town of Montgomery but Walden and Maybrook as well.
The school was originally named Valley Central Junior High School and educated grades 7-9. A dedication plaque near one entrance still uses the old name. Since its construction, the building has been expanded once, in the 1990s, when some new classroom space was added on the second story.
Paul Jr, Mikey and Danny Tuetul also attended this school.
In March 2010, Valley Central Middle School went into construction, forcing teachers to switch classrooms to rooms in the high school. The construction went on for 10 months, replacing windows, doors, paneling, brick work, sidewalks, lighting, fire alarms, and the boiler.
