The Hartford Central School District offers a plethora of programs to create not only great students, but great people. Many of these opportunities for students are listed below:

Tanager Voices: For students grades 3-5 who are interested in singing and acting. Tanager Voices meets once a week after school, and has two performances per year.

Battle of the Books: Held each year for grades 3-6. Hartford students read books assigned to their respective grade level and participate in a local competition regarding details of the books they read.

Enrichment: A program for grades 3-6 that consists of faculty and staff sharing a talent, interest, or activity with students once a week for five weeks.  There are two sessions each year.  Some of these programs include playing different board games, conducting science experiments, working on a movie trailer, learning about another culture, and more.

Small Group Counseling: Groups for elementary students formed on a variety of topics including friendship skills, study skills, confidence, and family dynamics. 

Spelling Bee: Held each year for grades 4-8.  The winners from each grade compete during a school assembly, and those winners advance to compete in a regional competition.
