The Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) is located along the southern shore of Lake Erie, approximately 21 miles south of the City of Buffalo. The District is both suburban and rural in nature and serves the Towns of Evans and Brant, The Villages of Angola and Farnham, and the Hamlet of Derby. There are seven schools within the District: A. J. Schmidt Elementary, Brant Elementary, Highland Elementary, J. T. Waugh Elementary, W. T. Hoag Elementary, Lake Shore Middle School, and the Lake Shore Senior High School.

Our District has a long tradition of providing outstanding educational opportunities for our children. We are committed to insuring that our students acquire the skills and knowledge they will need to become self-directed, life long learners.

At the elementary level the District provides a Pre-K program as well as full day Kindergarten. Each school provides a caring, child centered environment, which fosters academic success. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking and problem solving skills. Academic intervention programs in ELA and math are offered as well as programs for special education and those in the gifted and talented program.

The Lake Shore Middle School (6-8) provides an ideal setting for delivering educational services to this unique age group of learners. Emphasis is placed on the development of the whole child, including academic as well as personal/social growth. A major component of our Middle School is the concept of "Team Teaching" in which each child is placed on academic teams. Each of our teams work to develop greater responsibility and independence as academic learners. Enrichment programs and remediation programs are also available to assist our students in their academic achievement.

Our Senior High School offers a wide range of academic programs. Regents, Honors, and Advanced Placement courses are offered, as well as extra curricular activities and support programs allowing students to develop all facets of skills and interests. Recently our High School completed a renovation project providing additional classroom space, a new gym, library, track and fitness center and the new addition of a BOCES vocational and Technology Center. The location of the BOCES center on campus provides greater flexibility and opportunities in course selection for all students.

Lake Shore Central also offers one of the most comprehensive technology systems in the state. The District has over 2000 computers available for use with high bandwidth Internet access. In addition, each classroom has access to voice, video and data transmissions within the District infrastructure.

Other important aspects of our District include a comprehensive interscholastic athletic program, which serves all secondary students grades 6-12. Additionally, the District boasts a strong music program in grades 5-12. Bands exist at the Elementary, as well as the Middle and High School levels. The Middle and High School also support orchestras, wind ensembles, jazz bands and choral groups.

In an effort to provide continuing education and life long learning, Lake Shore offers a comprehensive community education program, providing over 300 programs throughout the year.
