The Hommocks Middle School is a public middle school located in the Town of Mamaroneck, New York. It is notable as being the place where actor Matt Dillon was discovered, being cast as the character Richie in the film Over The Edge (film). When the school was first completed in 1968, it had 5 main buildings, all interconnected.

In the 1990s, the LGI spaces and the open spaces on the third floor of the North and South Houses had been converted into conventional classrooms. This allowed the school to be used for 6th grade in addition to the 7th and 8th grade original plan.[3]

In 2003, a new East Wing with an auditorium was added. The wing contains classrooms for foreign languages, music education, and art.[4] This $21 million addition was designed by CWS Architecture, P.C. of Brooklyn, New York [5]
