East Haddam Public Schools is a small, rural K–12 district in central Connecticut committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Our district prioritizes safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments, with special education caseloads designed intentionally to allow for meaningful, individualized student support. We believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in every aspect of their development.
