National Honor Society

National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that recognizes high schoolers that meet high academic standards along with supporting criteria of leadership, service and character.  At SWR, juniors having a weighted cumulative high school GPA of 90 or above after the second marking period are then invited to apply to become a member of our NHS chapter.  If at that point in their junior year students do not have a 90 GPA they are then reconsidered after the end of their junior year and can apply in the beginning of their senior year.

In addition to the GPA requirement, eligible students must show validated community service over the course of their high school career as well as leadership roles they have held in their school or community. 

If inducted, students maintain their active member status by attending at least 7 of the 9 monthly meetings, participate in at least three of the NHS events and by completing four community service hours per month.

The students of SADD created a video to highlight Alcohol Awareness Month and Distracted Driving month. Please click here to view the video. They asked students, teachers and members of the SWR community to share their anonymous stories about how drunk driving has affected them. We thank them for their efforts in sharing these important messages with our greater community.

Advancing in Research

Shoreham-Wading River High School Advanced Science Research class students Julianna O'Neill and Sasha Seletskaya were invited to compete as regional semifinalists at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, a competition sponsored by the Department of Defense and the National Science Teacher Association. The symposium aims to encourage high school students to conduct original STEM research and publicly recognizes them for their outstanding achievement.

Sasha and Julianna each submitted a research paper and abstract from their original independent research in November. They were then invited to present their research at York College in Jamaica, Queens on Feb. 9.

Sasha presented her findings on the carbonaceous chondrite meteor she's been studying with her project “Chemical Characterization of Northwest Africa 12748: Comparison to Murchison,” and Julianna shared her data on microplastics found in snails with her project “A Characterization of the Different Types of Microplastics and Their Associated Heavy Metals in Tissue from Ilyanassa obsoleta in a Long Island Salt Marsh.”

“The girls did a fantastic job both in their presentations and in fielding questions from the judges,” science research teacher Dana Schaefer said. “We await results this coming week.”
