Evolution to Excellence: The first fifty years of the Bethlehem Central School District chronicles the district’s founding and how it built an excellent reputation within a short span of time. With its roots in the mid-19th century Common School movement of education, a community recognizes the need for a comprehensive and more advanced education for its children. A high school program begins in 1926 and by the 1940s, the town of Bethlehem is a highly recommended place to settle because of its excellent school district. How did that happen? The answers lie within.
