History
The district was established in 1903 with the opening of the Elwood School on Cuba Hill Road (affectionately called the "Little Red Schoolhouse"), which operated as the sole school in the district for over 50 years. Cuba Hill School, which today is James H. Boyd School, opened further down the road in 1955, and Manor Plains School opened on Little Plains Road.
Elwood-John Glenn High School was constructed in 1962, followed by Harley Avenue School in 1966, and finally Elwood Middle School in 1968.
As of 2016, the district comprises four of its six total schools. The Elwood School stands abandoned, and Manor Plains School has been converted into the Western Suffolk Boces: Wilson Technological Center.
