  • Dateline: Herricks News of the Herricks School District July 2012
    Dateline: Herricks News of the Herricks School District July 2012 Congratulations Class of 2012! A Message from the Board of Education Each year, the last edition of Dateline is devoted to highlighting many of the accomplishments of Herricks students over the previous twelve months. Unfortunately, there is not space for everything nor is there an appropriate way of acknowledging the achievements of students who stretch themselves each day, achievements which are extraordinary and noteworthy but rarely noted. As members of the Board of Education, we are as proud of these students as we are of those who achieve public recognition in sports, in the arts, in community services and in academics. The effort required of one student to make a team, play an instrument in a NYSSMA audition or pass a challenging course is often greater than the accomplishments of those given public recognition. We salute them. continued on page 2 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 A Message from the Board of Education (continued from page 1) We would also like to thank the parents and staff members for making 2011-12 such a successful year. Strong, supportive families and talented, dedicated educators are crucial to any child’s success. Last June Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature approved a statewide tax cap which goes into effect with the 2012-2013 school year. In light of this we started public discussions about the challenges facing us and the options we could consider to bring the budget in under the tax cap with as little impact on students as possible. The- se were exhausting and often quite disturbing but the thoughtfulness and sensitivity interested parents and community members brought to the discussions were most helpful.

    2005 PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM 41st Anniversary Edition NATIONAL RECOGNITION WEEK June 25 – June 28, 2005 National Recognition Week is Sponsored by: GMAC Financial Services Presidential Scholars 2005 1964-2005 41 Years of Presidential Scholars T he United States Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by Executive Order of the President, to recognize and celebrate some of our Nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Each year, up to 141 American students from across the country and around the world are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the Nation’s highest honors for high school students. By pre- senting these young people with the Presidential Scholars’ Medallion, the President of the United States symbolically honors all graduating high school seniors of high potential. For forty-one years, from President Lyndon Baines Johnson to President George W. Bush, the Pres- idential Scholars Program has placed more than 5,000 outstanding young achievers in the national spotlight. Initiated by President Johnson, the Presidential Scholars Program annually selects one male and one female student from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Americans liv- ing abroad, 15 at-large students, and up to 20 students in the arts on the basis of outstanding schol- arship, service, leadership and creativity through a rigorous selection and review process administered by the U.S. Department of Education. President Johnson opened the first meeting of the White House Commission on Presidential Schol- ars by stating that the Program was not just a reward for excellence, but a means of nourishing excel- lence. The Program was intended to stimulate achievement in a way that could be “revolutionary.” During the first National Recognition Week in 1964, the Scholars participated in seminars with Sec- retary of State Dan Rusk, Astronaut Alan B.
