  • About Our Community

    Located on the Southern side of the Tug Hill Plateau in Oswego County, the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown School District is nestled in the center of some of the most beautiful country Central New York has to offer.

    Our area is known for its access to hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and snowmobiling. Racing enthusiasts are only minutes from a variety of tracks.  Skiers and snowboarders are within half an hour of challenging slopes, and those who enjoy water sports have a number of lakes and rivers to choose from. In fact, the Salmon River is famous for both trophy fishing and world class white water kayaking.

    Although ideal for those who love country living, APW is centrally situated only 30 minutes from the cities of Syracuse, Oswego, Rome, and Watertown; perfect for commuters and shoppers.  We are a great place for families to live and learn.
