Valley Central Middle School educates students in grades 6-8 in the Valley Central School District in Orange County, New York. It is located on NY 17K just east of the village of Montgomery, connected to adjacent Valley Central High School. The school's 1,213 students come from not only the village and town of Montgomery but Walden and Maybrook as well.
The school was originally named Valley Central Junior High School and educated grades 7-9. A dedication plaque near one entrance still uses the old name. Since its construction, the building has been expanded once, in the 1990s, when some new classroom space was added on the second story.
Paul Jr, Mikey and Danny Tuetul also attended this school.
In March 2010, Valley Central Middle School went into construction, forcing teachers to switch classrooms to rooms in the high school. The construction went on for 10 months, replacing windows, doors, paneling, brick work, sidewalks, lighting, fire alarms, and the boiler.

“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“The central problem of novel-writing is causality.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“God forgive me, I do still see that my nature is not to be quite conquered, but will esteem pleasure above all things; though, yet in the middle of it, it hath reluctancy after my business, which is neglected by my following my pleasure. However, music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.”
—Samuel Pepys (1633–1703)
“Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.”
