Welcome to the "Then and Now" link for the Waterford-Halfmoon Union Free School District. 

"Then and Now" will offer visitors to the WHUFSD website an opportunity to learn about the history of the school district, with special emphasis on renovations and new construction associated with our school building and grounds.  Visitors to this link will be able to see photographs that show how things have changed since the earliest days in the history of the Waterford-Halfmoon School District. They will also be able to read about the numerous improvements that have benefitted the students and community members of the Waterford-Halfmoon district.

While we have begun to develop this page, it is not yet complete and, in fact, will continue to be updated over time.  Please continue to check this link periodically as we add more and more information and photos.  If you have information or photos that you feel would contribute to this site, please feel free to contact us!  In the meantime, you may read about various building projects that have taken place over past years by going to the Board of Education link on the district home page, and selecting "Building Project History".

Thank you.
