Huntington High School senior Evan Spagnoletti has been recognized as a national College Board Hispanic Scholar.

“Evan is a fine young man whose efforts in and beyond the classroom speak for themselves,” Superintendent James W. Polansky said. “He possesses a broad range of interests, manages his time well and, most importantly, connects well with others. We are extremely proud of his accomplishments and know that this is only the beginning for him!”
The student is taking classes in Advanced Placement Calculus BC, AP Microeconomics, AP Research, AP Computer Science and AP Physics.
“Evan is a fantastic student and an excellent role model,” Principal Brenden Cusack said. “We are very proud of his accomplishments and I am sure he is going to do great things in the future. This recognition is certainly very well deserved.”

Whitman Security Booth
The South Huntington School District has received a $300,000 grant from the State that will be used to improve security at Walt Whitman High School.
The money will be used to build a security booth at the end of West Hills Court, the main entrance driveway to Walt Whitman High School off of West Hills Road. Currently, visitors to the school check in at a post formed by a school securite vehicle. The booth will be a permanent structure.
The funds were secured by State Assemblyman Steve Stern and State Sen. Jim Gaughran.
Board of Education President Nick Ciappetta said, “We are very thankful to Assemblyman Stern and Senator Gaughran for their continuing commitment to the South Huntington school district. The money will be put to good use making sure our campuses and students stay as safe as possible.”
Construction is expected to begin in the near future.
