The District serves both residential and day students in three schools, the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls High School, the Henry Cohn Junior School and the Linden Hill School. The Hawthorne Cedar Knolls, UFSD was created as a result of a special act of the State Legislature in 1939, to educate the children in the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls and Linden Hill Residential Treatment Centers. Today, the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls, UFSD serves approximately 300 student's ages 8-21 years. Most of our students live in the residential treatment centers and facilities on campus. Residents are housed in modern, one level buildings and live in small groups.
Supervision is provided seven days per week, twenty-four hours each day.
The District provides academic, remedial and vocational programs. Guidance and psychological services provide additional support to foster the students' development. The original and continuing mission of our Residential and School District facilities is to rehabilitate the youngsters so they can rejoin their families and the community.
