Documentary Film Premiere: From the First Schoolhouse

Join us for the premiere our newest documentary, "From the First Schoolhouse: A Scarsdale Story", in partnership with the Scarsdale Public Library. The film traces how the Scarsdale public school district grew from a one-room schoolhouse to a national model of learning and innovation.

Produced by the Scarsdale Historical Society with documentary filmmaker Lesley Topping, this film features local historians Jordan Copeland, Leslie Chang, and Daniel Glauber, journalist Lori Rothman, former District educators Ruth Friendly and Tony Arenella, and SHS alumnus William Klayer, who share their insights and experiences.

The event will feature an introduction by Drew Patrick, Superintendent of Scarsdale Public Schools. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers, local historians, and longtime educators who witnessed the district’s transformation firsthand.
