James H Boyd Intermediate School, formerly Cuba Hill School, is a three-year Intermediate School that teaches grades 3–5. It is part of the Elwood School District in Huntington, New York.
History
[edit]Cuba Hill School was built in 1955 as a replacement to Elwood's aging Little Red Schoolhouse (formally called Elwood School), which opened in 1903 and still stands abandoned on Cuba Hill Road to this day.[1] At that point the school comprised solely what is today the third and fourth grade wing. An annex to the school was constructed as a standalone building in the mid-1960s, and today serves as the fifth grade wing.
The school was renamed after the first superintendent of the Elwood Union Free School District James H. Boyd in 1983.[2][3]
The two formerly separate buildings were connected in 2001 with the addition of a new auditorium.
