Labor Day reminds us that no one creates success alone. Every win is built on hard work, sacrifice, and teamwork.
Today, we honor the effort of those who came before us, and we recommit ourselves to giving our very best to our students, families, and community.
At Watkins Glen Central School District, we know that work is more than a job. It’s a chance to make a difference.
As we celebrate this Labor Day, we are especially excited to welcome our students back on Wednesday for another year of growth, learning, and success.

Huge shoutout to all the coaches, student-athletes, and clinicians who spent their weekend getting better!
This weekend, the OM/WG Wrestling program hosted its 2nd annual summer camp, giving 55 local wrestlers a chance to sharpen their skills. Athletes from OM/WG, Ithaca, Penfield, and South Seneca trained hard over three days of intense sessions and fun competition.
Special thanks to our incredible clinicians:
Josh Antoine (Ithaca HS)
Brandon Gould (Watkins Glen alum)
Connor Lapresi (Utica College)
From takedown matches to beach wrestling at Clute Park and a round-robin tourney, it was an unforgettable experience! #WrestleOMWG #SchuylerStrong
