History

In 1960, with continuing suburban growth, voters in the existing Oakdale-Bohemia and Ronkonkoma school districts voted to consolidate their two districts, which paved the way for construction of a high school.[1]

In January 1962, the entire district was shuttered for a week due to an outbreak of scarlet fever.[2]

School Shooting Plot: In July 2007, the school district received national attention when two teenagers who attended Connetquot High School were arrested for planning an attack on the school in the Connetquot High School Plot. The plans reportedly include a hit list of students and staff and how to ignite explosives.[3] According to a local radio station website, students interviewed said that they were not surprised of the arrests because of the many bomb scares in the 2006-2007 school year.
