History

Patchogue High School was incorporated in 1910, closed as a high school in 1972 and reopened as Saxton Avenue Middle School. It was one of two high schools serving the district, along with Patchogue-Medford High School. The school served students from grades 9–12^[1].^[2]

During the 1970s, Patchogue-Medford U.F.S.D reorganized grade levels, and closed two schools in effect of the reorganization. They cut PHS and Oregon Avenue Junior High School, leaving the school district with Saxton Middle School and Oregon Middle School.
