  • Camela A. Farley Elementary School is a public elementary school that serves grades K through 4. It was built in the 1950s and was named after long-time Hudson educator Camela A. Farley. The building has also served as the high school and the middle school. The principal is Melissa Provost and the Assistant Principal is Rachel Scanlon.
  • Joseph L. Mulready Elementary School is a public elementary school that serves grades K through 4. It was originally named the Cox Street School after the street it is located on, but was renamed after former Hudson superintendent Joseph L. Mulready. The principal is Mary McCarthy.
  • Forest Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school that serves grades K through 4. It was completed in 1975 and is named after Forest Avenue, the street it is located on. The principal is David Champigny.

    • Middle Schools (grades 5-7)

  • Quinn Middle School is a middle school serving grades 5, 6 and 7. Quinn Middle School replaced John F. Kennedy Middle School, which was demolished over the summer in 2013. Quinn Middle School was ready by the first day of school for the class of 2013-14. The principal is Jason Webster and the vice principal is Matt Gaffny.

    • High Schools (grades 8-12)

  • Hudson High School, or HHS, is a public high school that serves grades 8 through 12 (HHS also has preschool classes). The new multi-million-dollar building was finished in 2004, the same year the old building, which was built in the early 1970s, was demolished. The principal is Brian K. Reagan and the assistant principals are Joshua Otlin, for upperclassmen, and Dan McAnespie, for grades eight and nine.

    • Former Schools (in Chronological Order)

  • The School Street Schoolhouse was built in 1854 and abandoned in 1925. It was located on School Street.
  • The Old Broad Street School was built in 1867 and used until 1924. The New Broad Street School was built at the same site and was used until damaged by a fire. The new building, Cora Hubert Kindergarten Center replaced it at the same site.
  • The Old Green Street School was built in 1878 and was located on Green Street. It was used until 1924, when it was demolished to make way for a private residence.
  • The Felton Street School was built in 1882 and served as the town's high school until 1957. In 1986, the school was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
  • The Harriman Grammar School was built sometime in the late 19th century, and is located on the corner of Lake and Apsley Streets. It not only served as a grammar school but early years was the high school. The building currently houses the administrative offices of the Hudson Public Schools District. It was named after Dr. James Lang Harriman (1833–1907), a 40-year-long Hudson physician and surgeon who also served on the Hudson School Committee for 38 years.
  • The Linden Street School was built in 1924 to replace the Old Green Street School; this makes sense location-wise, as Linden Street is located off of Green Street. The Linden Street School building still exists today as a condominium complex.
  • The Packard Street School was also built in 1924, and is located on Packard Street. The building now houses the Hudson Police Department.
