3) is an American public school district located in Nassau County, on Long Island in New York, United States.

[5] In the early 20th Century, segregation in America's public schools was still common practice – even in northern parts of the nation.

This land became the current location of Roslyn High School and its athletic fields, and a new high school opened on that piece of land in 1925[5] and was designed in the Colonial Revival Style by architect William Bunker Tubby, a relative of a family in town.

[14] One of the marble Horse Tamer statues from the Mackay estate was given to the district in the 1950s by a local artist, named George Gách, to ensure its preservation.

[23] Roslyn Junior High School opened in 1957 as the southernmost school in the district, located just north of the Northern State Parkway and the district's southern border, and just south of what is now the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495) and its eastbound service road (Powerhouse Road).

[5] At the end of the baby-boom era, school districts nationwide saw huge enrollment drops, given the population trends of the time.

[5] In February 2004, Rebekah Rombom, as editor-in-chief of The Hilltop Beacon, the Roslyn High School newspaper, was preparing the March issue when she was given information that a woman had stolen money from the school district two years earlier, but was allowed to resign quietly without criminal charges.

She was also told that she needed to show the article to her principal and the director of community relations before publication; both read it and did not request any changes.

[39] Once published, the article prompted the opening of a criminal investigation, which led to the indictments of Gluckin and Tassone – both of whom initially pleaded not guilty.

[42] Gluckin pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 3 to 9 years behind bars; she was released in 2011 and received half of her state pension.

[46] On April 25, 2020, Bad Education, a film based on the scandal, premiered on HBO, where it won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.

[5] Students from the Heights School recited the Pledge of Allegiance, which was immediately followed by the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner", in addition to other patriotic hymns.

[10] In 2005, Roslyn voters approved of a $5 million capital plan, using extra budgetary funds that were recovered following the financial scandal.

The money allocated in each of these capital programs went to fixing and renovating the roofs, building façades, plumbing, fields, and blacktops, in addition to upgrades to playgrounds, technology, and the safety and security systems.

[52] This included the installation of solar panels on the roofs of the middle and high schools, replacing lights and installing light sensors in classrooms, replacing existing boilers and water heaters with more efficient versions, heating system enhancements, computer energy mitigation systems, and insulating windows and doors.

[53] The wall separating the main cafeteria and the snack bar was taken down, lighting was enhanced, seating capacity was increased, and multimedia, electronic, and technological upgrades were made.

[72][73] In 2012, the Horse Tamer in front of the high school was temporarily removed so it could be preserved and restored, as it had severely deteriorated over the years from weather and vandalism, to a lesser extent.

[15] In 2019, after receiving its restoration, the marble Horse Tamer was welcomed back home with a major, historic community celebration.

[15][17] Roslyn High School's band and chorus both participated in the festivities, as well, by playing tunes by Irving Berlin, the Mackay's son-in-law.

[17] Commemorative bricks on the ground in front of the statue honor the people and organizations that contributed to the restoration efforts, and the key contributors are listed on a bronze plaque, which is mounted on the pedestal.

This move had no impact on property taxes, and instead was funded by the money saved on textbooks and paper; the amount of annual copies made district-wide were cut in half.

[78] These programs have received enhancements, as well, and the implementation of sensory rooms for special education students has been discussed by administrators.

[84] As a result of social distancing guidelines, it was announced that the 2020-2021 school budget vote and board election on June 9, 2020, would take place by mail-in ballot only.
