Both the Boys and Girls Fencing Teams took the #1 spot after defeating Whitman on 1/27/22! Catch the playoffs on 2/9 where both teams will compete for the County Championship & a chance to head to the LI Championship! Congratulations to our student athletes and their coaches.  The Lady Cougars had an undefeated season.

As indicated in our previous communication, we have been closely monitoring the actions taken by the New York State Attorney General’s office.  We have received notice that New York State has been granted an emergency injunction to stay enforcement of the Nassau County court’s order at least until Friday. Since the stay has been granted, all students and staff must wear masks while indoors in our schools effective immediately.  
 

We will continue to be in close contact with our legal team and will keep you updated on any developments. We thank you for your support.

Commack High School senior, Soyoun "Ashley" M., was named a Regeneron STS Scholar for her Animal Science project, Exploring Sexual Dimorphism and Sex Hormone Receptor Expression in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in the Monogamous Prairie Vole, which she investigated at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Congratulations!!!  She is one of only 300 students nationwide to be named in this prestigious competition.

Ashley's dedication to science is demonstrated by her enrollment in two different Science Research classes, while maintaining Academic Leadership status in a rigorous IB Diploma curriculum.  She balances her studies with community service work, is a varsity level athlete, and an Editor of the school newspaper. Ashley plans to continue her interest in science, particularly Environmental Science, as she starts her college career.

Both of our bus companies have concerns of driver shortages. Please be patient as routes may be running late.
An excerpt from an email from our bus company:
 "The ongoing surge is resulting in more positive tests each day and we anticipate that continuing over the next few days. We are doing our best to ensure that all routes operate on time but we do expect there to be some delays... Thank you for your patience as we navigate through these difficult times."
