Thank you to the community for coming out on January 14 for the monthly Board of Education meeting. This month, it was a privilege to hear from our junior high student government. The enthusiasm for all the happens and pride shared is always the highlight of the evening. They spoke about the many achievements, events, honors, and ongoing activities, accompanied by a photo slideshow for everyone to enjoy. The Board recognized senior Milan Lustig who was named a Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholar Semifinalist – congratulations Milan! The Board also shared an extensive presentation on Focus and Learning “District Comparisons 3-8 Exam Regents Results,” along with a UPK update and the approved 2025-2026 school calendar.
“Teaching Students AND Each Other” AP Collegial Circles For the second year in a row, Cold Spring Harbor Central School District spearheaded and hosted a unique collaborative learning experience for AP teachers across 43 Long Island districts. These AP Collegial Circles united 129 teachers at the Jr./Sr. High School campus who engaged in productive workshops entailing open dialogue, problem-solving and networking, all with an eye on improving student learning and achievement. Joining this quest for collegial mindsets, were teachers who have been teaching anywhere from one year to 25 years as a collective group to brainstorm, learn, strive to improve, and share best practices that work.
DDP Engineering Challenge Technology teacher Morgan Milleisen has been keeping her students busy in her DDP: Design and Drawing for Production class (a new elective this year). In this course, students engage in creative problem-solving, engineering and computer aided design. They learn to apply their artistic skills and engineering mindset to create designs, build and test models, and work both independently and on a team. This particular engineering challenge had students plan, design and build a structure of their choice in woodshop using scroll saws, chop saws, belt sanders and palm sanders. Some of the designs included a shoe display, a chess board, and a small table. Amazing work!

Holiday Chefs! At the high school, French students baked traditional French Yule Logs (Buche De Noel). And Spanish students attended a Cooking Lab in Port Washington where they learned to make traditional Spanish tapas menus of tortilla española and pan amb tomaquét - how fun!
Thank you to the many organizations and “busy elves” districtwide who spearheaded toy drives, coat drives and volunteerism this holiday season to help those less fortunate. Once again, the generosity of our community, students and staff is beyond gracious...
