History

The South Jefferson district was established in 1880 as one of the first in Jefferson County, enrolling 682 students in the Town of Adams. In the following century, the district came to encompass school buildings in Adams Center and Mannsville as well.^[3] South Jefferson's proximity to and inclusion of the Tug Hill Plateau makes it highly prone to lake-effect snow.
