Senate Resolution No. 2904

BY: Senator PALUMBO

        COMMENDING   six   local  high  schools  upon  the
        occasion  of  their  designation   as   Schools   of
        Excellence  by the New York State Public High School
        Athletic Association

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to  commend  rare
athletic  and academic achievements and pay special recognition to those
who pursue such excellence and become examples for  the  youth  of  this
great Empire State; and

  WHEREAS,  Achieving  such  high honors in sports requires a rigorous
work ethic, excellent teamwork, outstanding academic performance, and  a
desire to better yourself for the greater good; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend six local high schools upon the occasion of their designation as
Schools  of Excellence by the New York State Public High School Athletic
Association (NYSPHSAA); and

  WHEREAS, This year's honorees include Center Moriches  High  School,
East  Hampton  High  School,  Greenport  High  School, Hampton Bays High
School, Riverhead High School, and Westhampton Beach Senior High School;
and

  WHEREAS, Athletically and academically, the varsity teams  of  these
distinguished  schools  have  proven  themselves  to  be  an  impressive
combination of talent and  hard  work,  reflecting  favorably  on  their
school; and

  WHEREAS,  To  earn the School of Excellence Award, 75% of a school's
varsity teams must qualify and receive the Scholar-Athlete  team  award;
for  a team to earn the Scholar-Athlete award, 75% of that team's roster
must average above a 90.0 grade point average; and

  WHEREAS, All the student athletes from  these  select  schools  have
clearly  utilized dedication, determination, and teamwork in providing a
lasting contribution to the spirit of excellence which is a tradition of
their school; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend six local high schools upon the occasion of their designation as
Schools of Excellence by the NYSPHSAA; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  copies  of this Resolution be transmitted to Center
Moriches High School, East Hampton High School, Greenport  High  School,
Hampton  Bays  High School, Riverhead High School, and Westhampton Beach
Senior High School.
