On Jan. 28, Amityville Memorial High School’s students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of elective options during the school’s annual curriculum fair.  

As they prepare to select their courses for the next school year, students engaged with teachers, attended presentations led by senior students, and gained valuable insight into courses that align with their interests and future goals. 

The event began with an assembly, followed by the curriculum fair, where tables were set up throughout the hallways for students to learn about different academic opportunities. In the auditorium, presentations covered course offerings and graduation requirements, ensuring students had the information they needed to make informed decisions. 

Additionally, the high school’s seniors participated in an informative session on financial aid, including FAFSA, to help them navigate the college application process with confidence. Later in the week, guidance counselors visited ELA classes to assist students in completing course selection sheets, which they will review in upcoming scheduling meetings. 

The district would like to thank the high school’s teachers, counselors, and staff for making this event a success and for their continued commitment to guiding Amityville’s students on their academic journey.
