History & Profile


District History

The Honeoye Falls- Lima Central School District was established in 1969 through a merger of the neighboring Honeoye Falls and Lima school districts. Honeoye Falls, originally known as Norton's Mills, was founded in 1791. Lima was founded three years later. Together, the two towns make up 80% of the District's residential population. The District lies within a rolling countryside, amid a mix of horse farms, spacious modern homes, and historic town dwellings.

The community is an active partner in the District's educational program. District residents play an integral part in program budget design and strategic planning. They serve on a number of building improvement and district-wide committees. Comprehensive and ongoing solicitation and analysis of feedback from District residents, parents, students, and staff drive District efforts toward continuous improvement."

Profile

The Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District serves a student population of 2,748. Our District includes four schools located on separate sites: Lima Primary (K-1); Manor Intermediate (2-5); Middle School (6-8); and High School (9-12).

Our District comprises 74 square miles and nine towns in three counties: Monroe County (Mendon, Henrietta and Rush); Livingston County (Avon, Lima and Livonia) and Ontario (Victor, West Bloomfield and Richmond). From traditional horse farms to historic Victorian homes, our population is a mix of professionals, small business owners, and long-time residents.

It is our vision to create a learning organization that is the centerpiece of our community. Our main focus is on teaching, learning and high standards. When HF-L graduates embark on their journey into life, they are equipped to think independently, solve problems, work cooperatively, and take on leadership roles in a changing world.

Comprehensive renovations to buildings and grounds provide state-of-the-art resources and facilities. Our teaching staff works closely with PTA members, parents, booster clubs, and other community groups to develop a program which gives each child the attention and opportunities necessary for fully realizing their potential. Our District Strategic Plan and our Board of Education ensure both continuity and foresight as we move toward our long term goals of enabling students to exceed State standards.

Parents and community members are encouraged to become active partners in the development of our policy, curriculum, staff selection, financial resources, and the general operation of the school district.
