History In the face of "badly overcrowded conditions" at Franklin High School, which served students from all four constituent municipalities, voters approved by a 4-1 margin a referendum in November 1972 for the creation of Wallkill Valley Regional High School. In December 1974, voters in the four constituent municipalities voted against a referendum that would have spent $10 million (equivalent to $ million in ) on the construction of a new building, as well as other questions that covered additions for a planetarium and a swimming pool. For the 1978-79 school year, Ogdensburg withdrew from Franklin High School and began sending students to Sparta High School. The district sought bids in 1979 for a building costing $8.3 million (equivalent to $ million in ), using funds from a referendum approved the previous year. The school building opened in September 1982 with an enrollment of 500 students. Course offerings Wallkill's program of studies features a wide range of courses taught on five levels of instruction.
