A Rural High School In Upstate New York

November is New York State History Month so thought I would write about some of our local history of Mexico, New York.


This is the Mexico High School Academy at Mexico, New York. The formal name of the school district is Mexico Academy and Central School District otherwise known as MACS.


Front Entrance
Moving to this area in 1974 was interesting for us. One consideration of our move was the school district. Our children were preschoolers at the time so we wanted to move to an area where the school district would support our educational values, and at the same time offer sufficient activities that would nurture their overall growth. We found that the school district of Mexico, New York would meet those needs.

Entrance
The Mexico Academy and Central School District consists of five school buildings: Mexico High School, Mexico Middle School, Mexico Elementary, New Haven Elementary, and Palermo Elementary. The school district has an enrollment of 2,000+ students Pre-K - 12.

Marble staircase at entrance (Mascot- Mexico Tigers)

One of the most outstanding buildings of our Town of Mexico is the Mexico High School. The Mexico Academy was originally established in 1826, as the "Rensselaer Oswego Academy."The name was changed May 19, 1845. It's one of the oldest schools in its class in the state. It was originally a military academy and in 1893 it became a public school.

As per Wikipedia: "Mexico Academy and Central School is a historic school building located at Mexico in Oswego County, New York. It was built originally in 1927, damaged by fire in 1937 and reconstructed in 1938. It is a two story, Georgian Revival style brick building in a "U" shaped plan. It features a distinctive tower that contains an 1828 bell from an earlier building. The entry is distinguished by a two story, five bay portico supported by six Ionic columns and crowned by a Chippendale patterned balustrade.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991."























Looking down from staircase at the front entrance.



LaGuerre D'Independance. Another historic aspect of the Mexico High School was the installation of a 32 strip multicolored hand carved woodblock scene that was first printed in 1852-53. The mural consists of five scenes of the Revolutionary War. What's so unique about this mural is that there are only two sets of the entire mural and the Mexico High School has the complete set on display to the public in one room. The only other set is in the White House, Washington, D.C., but there it is on display in two rooms on separate floors. The artwork originated in France. To restore the panels for display in the school building, $25,000 was needed for this endeavor. The community, alumni, friends, and others raised all the money needed and it was all done without the need of any public school funds.






















































This door is the entrance to the Irene Hungerford Library. 








The Community of Mexico has a lot of pride in their school community and physical buildings. They have a lot to be proud of!

    I lived right across the street from the school for 24 years. It was amazing the number of people who would stop and take pictures of that beautiful building as they were traveling through. When I started there it was the ONLY school in the village, covering K-12 and was definitely a very busy place.

    1. It is such a beautiful building, and there's not many like that to compare it too. I recently read where the high school building in Holland Patten, NY, was designed by the same architect. It is certainly a masterpiece and I'm glad the school district and community value it's historic importance and continue to maintain the physical aspects of it. Thanks for commenting.

There are other aspects I would have loved to include in this blog post as well- like the library has oak paneling, and a fireplace; and the guidance counselors office was previously a Kindergarten classroom that had a tile floor with an inlaid (very large) picture of a clock which was recently restored. So many fond memories for all those that attended this wonderful school.

    1. Thanks for your comments. I know that the school district was always conscientious in hiring excellent architects that would plan and design appropriate modifications and upgrades to the buildings as needed. A remember a few years back when the roof had to be replaced and I think it was replace with slate tiles as the original roof.

    1. Thanks, Lisa. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, the high school I attended is now a WalMart. So I know firsthand, I think, that no matter what school you attend, you don't appreciate it until after you have walked out the doors for the final time. To me, the Mexico High School has long been the "Center" of our community both historically and educationally, and as a community we all have a great pride in that building.

  15. I attended this school K-12 in the same bldg. Except for one year that they put the 5th grades up at local churches, I was always in awe of the pictures on the wall. Even though I saw them everyday they kept me looking for something new that I had not seen.

    1. I vaguely remember hearing the story about the 5th grade classes being held in the local churches, but I can't remember the reason why.

      There is so many fine details in that building that it's amazing. I love the lights and chandliers in the entryway, the marble staircase, the outside front portico with the hanging lamp, the wood trim and oak doors, and the pictures. It's very visual appealing.

I haven't been in the school since so these photo's bring back wonderful memories of walking up and down those beautiful stairs and hallways for 5 yrs of my life. My class was the last to spend 8th grade in the High School so I guess you could say we were Freshmen for 2 years! As a youth I just didn't take notice of all the beauty and history in the building.

    I started kindergarten & first grade at MACS, but then around 1952/53, the New Haven Elementary was almost finished, so we attended school at the New Haven Congregational Church until midwinter, when we were able to move into the New Haven Classrooms. My dad was a bus driver for many years (Cliff Vosseller) then he was able to work as a janitor at MACS. My brother and I attended MACS for middle school and high school. I graduated in '64, and was delighted to hook up with classmates again at our 50th. And there still are Vossellers driving MACS buses!

  53. Oh the memories of those grand staircase and marble floors.. I am very proud that I had the opportunity to attend and graduate from such a beautiful Historic building.. every time I go back home I always make a special trip to see the school, was very upset to see the swings and the bridge gone.. I don't understand why they just didn't restore the bridge and keep the memories.. I was also confused about the offices and everything now in the back of the school by the pool what is up with that decision? Either way still love the school and very proud to be an alumni class of 93'.. the pictures are breathtaking

  54. I attended MACS from Kindergarten through Graduation.
    The hallways and rooms seemed to have shrunk. Guess that’s what happens when you get to be a 77 year old.
    The Murals in the staircase were always a great view. And the library with Miss King was out of the old textbooks.
    The floors that were put in in 1938 were also put down at Mexico’s Becks Hotel.
    I would have to imagine that the school construction workers spent some time at that Bar..
