The district is proud to announce that seven high school winter athletic teams achieved New York State Scholar-Athlete status. In order to receive this designation a team must achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 90 or better throughout the entire season.
In addition, the Varsity Bowling team was selected as a Section XI Outstanding Sportsmanship Team for their fair play and good sportsmanship during the heat of competition. What makes this award so genuine is that it is determined by officials and opposing teams.
At the middle school level, the Robert Frost Kickline team, coached by Dena Hermanek and Dina Peragine, won the Long Island Kickline Association Championship and were named the Long Island Pom Champions.
