School Colors

Prior to the reconfiguration, the school district's colors were primarily black and old gold, and a little bit of red. The school fight song starts out as "Here's to Red Black and Gold..." After the split, Sachem High School North began using exclusively black and gold, while Sachem High School East was designated red and gold as its colors. Both schools kept the mascot the "FLAMING ARROWS."

Reconfiguration

As voted upon by district constituents in 1999, the district built two new schools and reconfigured its current schools at the start of the 2004-2005 school year. The elementary schools, which formerly housed grades Kindergarten through 6th, are now K-5. Seneca and Sagamore junior high schools (formerly grades 7 and 8) became middle schools (grades 6 through 8). The former Sachem High School South, the 9th and 10th grade facility, was converted into Samoset Middle School. Sequoya was built for the purpose of reconfiguration. Sachem High School North, formerly home to all 11th and 12th grade students in the district, became a 9-12 facility for students in the western and northern portions of the district. Sachem East was built as a 9-12 facility for students in the southern and eastern portions of the district.
