There was so much to celebrate at Hauppauge’s June 3 Board of Education meeting! The evening was filled with pride and recognition as the Board and district leadership honored a number of exceptional students and staff for their achievements and contributions.
Among those recognized were students entering the military, as well as academic standouts earning a GPA of 100 or higher. The Board also celebrated the winners of the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge and Long Island Science and Engineering Fair, the Earth Day Poster Contest winner, participants in the Long Island Science Congress and the recipient of the SAAWA Innovative Health Diagnostic Award. NYSSMA All-State musicians and winter athletes across basketball, cheer, swimming and diving, track and wrestling were also applauded for their hard work and dedication.
In addition to student achievements, the evening included heartfelt recognition of several beloved staff members retiring this year, including Pines Elementary Principal Dr. Claudine DiMuzio and Bretton Woods Principal Mr. George Gagliardi. Their years of leadership and service have made a lasting impact on the Hauppauge community. The Board also celebrated educators receiving tenure and warmly welcomed new teachers who will be joining the district.
Looking ahead, the district proudly introduced Mr. Scott Bullis as the new principal of Pines Elementary, set to begin his role in the 2025–26 school year.
Congratulations to all who were honored!
