Senior High School students Shannon Reahl and John Nash were nominated by their physical education teachers to receive the Suffolk County Zone Award, presented by the New York State Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. At a ceremony held in early December, Shannon and John received certificates and medals recognizing their outstanding achievement as physical education students, scholars and citizens.

The Suffolk Zone honors only one male and female senior from each high school in the county. To be eligible, students must have exceptional grades, demonstrate outstanding character, show leadership skills in both physical education class and general schoolwide activities, and serve as role models for other students.
