History
Sag Harbor's original school district, the Union School District, was founded in 1862. The Union School operated out of a building on Main Street that now serves as the village's municipal building.

In 2015–2016, the Sag Harbor School District was designated as a Reward School by New York State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia.

In 2015, Sag Harbor UFSD ranked #21 of all school districts on Long Island in average SAT score.

The current superintendent, Jeff Nichols, has held the role since May 2020. Nichols was the high school principal for 20 years and filled in as Acting Superintendent twice in 2019. The prior superintendent, Katy Graves, left in January 2020 to become the director of the nearby Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center in East Hampton. The district's offices are on the site of the Middle-High School at 200 Jermain Avenue.
