What’s new in the Sewanhaka School District

As we approach the upcoming school year, we will be celebrating the 87 years of instruction in the Sewanhaka Central High School District. Before our students arrive this month, our professional staff will return on Sept. 1 and 2 for our Opening Day Program, during which we will welcome new and returning faculty and staff.

We also will honor our Teachers of the Year and employees who have been with the district for 25 years or more. Our goal continues to be to ensure that each child is provided with an education designed to meet his or her needs. We believe that our professional staff is instrumental in providing for this success.

During the summer months, extensive renovations have been completed, (and others are continuing), at each of our five high schools. The goal remains to complete many of these projects prior to the beginning of the school year.

At Elmont Memorial High School, a new roof was installed, asbestos was abated and a new stadium field and track was installed. The baseball field will be completed during the fall of 2015.

At Sewanhaka High School, a new roof was installed, asbestos was abated and a new stadium field and track, as well as a concession stand were installed. New gymnasium windows will be installed at some time during the fall of 2015.

At Floral Park Memorial High School, a new roof was installed, asbestos was abated and a new stadium field and track was installed. The softball fields will be completed during the fall of 2015.

At H. Frank Carey High School, a new elevator was installed, the roof was replaced, asbestos was abated and a new stadium field and track, as well as a concession stand were installed. The baseball and softball fields will be completed during the fall of 2015.

Finally, at New Hyde Park Memorial High School, a new roof was installed, asbestos was abated and a new stadium field and track was installed. The soccer and baseball fields will be completed during the fall of 2015.

As a result of these extensive renovations, these facilities are now ones that are in the condition that our students deserve.
