The school district was established in its current form in 1949, after the East Williston Common School District's residents voted 196-to-16 in favor of re-establishing it as the as Union Free School District No 2. The district subsequently grew in the 1950s. In 1955, The Wheatley School – the district's sole high school – was established. In 1960, a proposal to consolidate the East Williston Union Free School District and the adjacent Carle Place Union Free School District failed, due to a lack of support for the centralization. This came after a previous attempt at consolidating the two with the Mineola and Herricks Union Free School Districts. Although it initially submitted the name "Wheatley Union Free School District No. 2," given the large colloquial usage, NYSED rejected the name due to there being no community therein formally named Wheatley. In light of this decision, the district opted to use the East Williston Union Free School District No. 2 name. == Schools ==

The East Williston Union Free School District operates of three schools: • North Side Elementary School (grades K - 4) • Willets Road Middle School (grades 5-7) • The Wheatley School (grades 8-12) == Sports ==

Wheatley features many sports and extracurricular teams and clubs. The football and lacrosse teams are shared with the neighboring Herricks Union Free School District for football and Carle Place Union Free School District for lacrosse. == See also ==
