Help Us Shape the Next Capital Project |
We invite Galway CSD community members to help us shape the next Capital Project by participating in the following public input sessions in the Junior/Senior High School Library:- Saturday, May 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. for an abbreviated session called Coffee and Questions during the Galway Booster Club Car Wash and Can Drive fundraiser
Following the defeat of the Capital Project that was proposed in December 2023, the Board of Education Facilities Committee members have been listening to residents’ concerns and discussing the infrastructure needs that were not included in the 2016 Capital Project.
- The majority of these needs were identified as critical in the district’s most recent Building Condition Survey (completed in 2020)
- Some of these needs include work that voters passed in the 2021 Small Capital Project that focused on the bus garage, but could not be completed due to cost escalation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
For archival information on all of our recent Capital Projects, and information on the work that is being considered for the next Capital Project, please click on the Facilities webpage here

Track and Field Highlights
Last night, the Galway Modified track team attended the Johnstown Invitational and competed against 12 other teams, including Niskayuna, Scotia-Glenville, B-P, Fonda, Gloversville, Bethlehem, and Cobleskill. Ribbons were awarded to the top 8 in each event. Despite the frigid temperatures and aggressive competition, we had some ribbon winners and some PR's.
The 8th graders finished their modified sports career with some quality places. Josie Price and Estelle Hall won the high jump. Josie placed third in the 400 m out of 33 runners and set a PR. Estelle also set a PR in the 1500 m run, running a time of 6:12. Alek Holman got a PR in the triple jump and placed 8 out of 20 competitors. Lily Thompson got a PR in the discus and placed 6 out of 26 competitors. Dil Haugh got a PR in the shot and placed 4th out of 29 competitors. The girls' 4X400 team came in 5th out of 8 teams and was made up of 8th grader Estelle Hall, 8th grader Aria Ruggiero, 7th grader Gwen Ahsmann, and 8th grader Josie Price. In addition to Gwen, the other 7th graders also had a good showing for the final meet of their 7th-grade year. Kent McCort and Grace Brisk had a PR in the triple jump. Aiden Quirion had a PR in the shot. Max Sittner placed 8th in the discus out of 30 competitors. Isaac Schaperjahn came in 3rd in the 800 out of 30 competitors. Isaac also came in 3rd out of 27 runners in the 1500 m run.
