At the July 8 Board of Education meeting, the appointments of the new officers were announced. We would like to formally welcome Heather Morante Young as the new board president and Kate DelliCarpini as the new vice president for the 2025-2026 school year.
This appointment represents a meaningful homecoming for Ms. Libertini, who previously served the district as the Director of STEM. During her earlier tenure, she played a vital role in expanding interdisciplinary learning opportunities, developing innovative STEM programming, and helping to align curriculum with 21st-century learning goals.

He has held leadership roles in several Long Island districts, including Roslyn, Manhasset, Amityville, and Harborfields. He is a longtime member of the New York State Association of School Business Officials and has received multiple awards for service and leadership.
The Class of 2029 is officially “Moving Up” to the high school! Principal, Daniel Danbusky encouraged everyone to explore new challenges, opportunities and self-discovery with an open mind and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. He shared, “Remember that success is not measured by grades alone, but by the relationships you build.” As the students commemorated this milestone, Mr. Danbusky acknowledged that the diploma and handshake are an official welcome to the High School. “You will now be called Freshman, and that carries tremendous responsibility, many new opportunities and meaningful new experiences.” Assistant Principal Caitlyn Harman, and Superintendent Joseph Monastero also expressed their sincere gratitude and pride and wished the students great success as rising freshmen. They asked students to challenge themselves, discover new interests, and to always remember to do what is right and stand up for each other by leading with integrity and authenticity. Ms. Harman exclaimed, “You are ready!” Congratulations 8th Graders, and welcome to High School!
CSH Graduates - Let the celebrations begin! Class of 2025
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! Commencement June 22 - Fly High Seahawks as you soar off to college!
Class of 2025: Seniors visited their elementary schools and "Walked the Hallways" at Goosehill, Lloyd Harbor and West Side School... Our youngest lined the hallways with cheers holding up signs and offering high fives! Graduates loved touring their old cafeteria, gym, and playground - which all brought back so many memories of this very special school district.
An exciting milestone was celebrated this year as 6 CSH seniors earned the first-ever New York State Seal of Biliteracy. These remarkable students demonstrated linguistic proficiency in German, French, Italian, and Spanish, reflecting not only their ability to communicate in multiple languages but also a deep appreciation for different cultures.The Seal of Biliteracy is a prestigious recognition that highlights a student’s ability to use English and at least one additional world language proficiently by graduation. Among this group, two students earned seals in two world languages aside from English, a remarkable accomplishment.
