We’re excited to reintroduce the Rockville Centre Schools Alumni Newsletter, now published twice a year. Our goal is to keep you connected with what’s happening in the district, highlight the achievements of our graduates, and strengthen the relationship between alumni and our schools.

Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, you will always be part of our community—and we’re glad you’re here.

Over the past three years, the district has significantly expanded its focus on computer science, offering a growing range of courses designed to prepare students for the future. Students are introduced to foundational skills through Computer Science and Robotics classes at the middle school level, with continued opportunities in high school through courses such as AP Computer Science Principles, Prompt Engineering, AP Computer Science A, Python, and AP Networking. This expanded curriculum reflects the district’s commitment to equipping students with essential technology and problem-solving skills for an evolving digital world.

Scholarships for Academic Excellence

Five South Side students were recognized for being awarded Scholarships for Academic Excellence, which are given to top New York State high school seniors based on State Education Department criteria, including Regents exam performance through junior year. Valued at $500 and $1,500, the scholarships support students attending a New York State college.

National Merit Commended Students

Four South Side High School students were named National Merit Commended Students, an honor recognizing outstanding performance on the PSAT. These students scored in the top 2–3 percent nationally, placing them among the top 34,000 students nationwide—a truly impressive achievement.

This year, the district has continued to grow partnerships that support student learning in meaningful ways:

These connections enrich the student experience and help prepare graduates for their next steps.

For this issue, we’re featuring alumni who are now employees in the district—individuals who once walked our halls as students and now serve as teachers, support staff, coaches, and administrators.
