They did it! Smithtown High School East seniors enjoyed a perfect Friday night with their long awaited graduation. Assistant Superintendent Kevin Simmons, who was the principal at East for 3 1/2 years before moving to the district office, was the keynote speaker. He was introduced by Principal Robert Rose. The two student speakers were Aman Mistry, who was voted by fellow seniors as the honor speaker, and Trishaulla Kanhai, who is president of the Class Council. Aman, who will be attending Stony Brook University, recalled showing up at high school and seeing the 6-foot seniors with facial hair and telling his parents he was going to be like that someday. He also went through achievements of the class, from athletic feats to scientific awards. Trishaulla will be attending the University of New Haven as a forensic science major.
401 students graduated Friday night. After the congratulatory speeches, the seniors were awarded diplomas and then participated in the traditional moving of the tassels to indicate their becoming alumni of the Smithtown Central School District.

Have you ever seen an insect in your house and instead of “swatting” it, you decided to gently remove it and place it outside? Did the way the insect looked have an effect? Maybe! High School East senior Leigh Baratta recently was awarded $4,000 for her 2nd place finish at the NSPC Science Competition on the role of perceived beauty and its correlation to reluctance to kill. Leigh conducted an "in-house" study mentored by Maria Zeitlin on perceived beauty and reluctance to kill an Invasive Species, namely the Spotted Lanternfly. Originating overseas, this pest poses a threat to Long Island vineyards as it spreads East. According to Ms. Zeitlin, "Leigh's work analyzed 491 survey responses and found that indeed, the perception of beauty was connected to a reluctance to eradicate invasive species. Education of citizens will be important to assist environmental authorities in controlling this burgeoning threat." Additionally, honorable mentions Aman Mistry and Sarah Schubel each received $500.
