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.

Four From SWRHS Among Nation’s Most Promising Young Scientists

Four From SWRHS Among Nation’s Most Promising Young Scientists thumbnail262682

Four Shoreham-Wading River High School students have completed Regeneron Science Talent Search applications this year. The process of developing and submitting a Regeneron application represents one of the most challenging and prestigious accomplishments available to high school scientists. Each application requires students to conduct original research, often over multiple years, write an extensive research paper, complete a comprehensive application, and submit their work for review by some of the nation’s top scientists.

The students’ research topics showcase both their intellectual ambition and their commitment to addressing important contemporary issues. Student Julianna O’Neill investigated microplastic contamination in marine snail tissue in Long Island salt marshes. Katelyn Schaefer conducted a comparative analysis of pet food plans, examining protein sources, bacterial content and ingredient quality. Anna Minetti studied lichens as bioindicators of microplastic pollution on Long Island. Sasha Seletskaya performed chemical characterization of the Northwest Africa 12748 meteorite, comparing it to the Murchison meteorite.

 “Simply completing a Regeneron application puts these students in an elite group of young scientists nationwide,” Superintendent of Schools Mr. Gerard Poole said. “The process requires exceptional dedication, countless hours of laboratory work, sophisticated data analysis and the ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively. These students have demonstrated remarkable persistence, intellectual curiosity and scientific rigor in their work, representing the best of what Shoreham-Wading River High School’s science research program aims to achieve.”
