District honored for 100% graduation rate; two students named National Merit semifinalists
Summary
The Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District was commended at its Oct. 22 board meeting for a 100% graduation rate in 2024; County Legislator Samantha Getz and Assemblyman Jake Blumenkrans presented citations and two students, Adrian Kim and Brandon Antonetti, were recognized as National Merit semifinalists.
The Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District on Oct. 22 was publicly commended after officials reported a 100% graduation rate for the class of 2024.
"You guys have achieved a 100% graduation rate in 2024, and that is absolutely impressive," Nassau County Legislator Samantha Getz told the board as she presented a county citation recognizing the district's achievement. Superintendent Dr. Yanni also thanked staff and administrators for their work supporting students.
Getz and Assemblyman Jake Blumenkrans highlighted individual student achievements as well: the board was told that two students, Adrian Kim and Brandon Antonetti, earned National Merit semifinalist distinction. "These come on up," Getz said as she invited the students forward for recognition; Blumenkrans said he would deliver citations on behalf of his office.
The board and district leaders noted this recognition alongside community events: a Roosevelt ribbon-cutting scheduled for Oct. 26 and a Parent University session on Oct. 24 that will include presentations on antibullying and technology usage. The superintendent connected the recognitions to broader district priorities of academic support and student engagement.
No formal action was required to recognize the accomplishments; the citations were ceremonial and the board moved on to routine business after the presentations.
