The Pulaski Street School houses 700 fifth and sixth grade students. It is located on Pulaski Street adjacent to Polish Town. The beautiful brick building with its majestic columns was erected in 1938 and was the site of the first high school. With its high ceilings and large windows, the school carries a special charm.

Pulaski Street School has a culturally diverse student population, with a teaching staff of seasoned veterans and new, energetic, young professionals. Alison Conroy is the Assistant Principal.

There is a strong community partnership at this level through learning programs such as

• Field trips to the Suffolk County Historical Society, L.I. Science Museum, Atlantis Aquarium and other locations.

• After school programs sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension.

• A strong Community Awareness Program (CAP) which emphasizes self-esteem, discipline and remaining drug free.

• A Council for Unity Program that seeks to empower students to create a harmonious and safe learning environment within the school for ALL students. It is an anti-gang, anti-violence and pro-mediation program.

• Strong cultural arts and music programs.

• A variety of after school clubs and after school activities, including Scrabble Club, Book of the Month Club, and after school homework help.

The Pulaski Street School is a school with a big heart and an amazing ability to help others through their enthusiastic partnership with charity programs that help care for kids (e.g., they raise thousands of dollars each year through a Mathathon fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Hospital).
