National Honor Society

National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that recognizes high schoolers that meet high academic standards along with supporting criteria of leadership, service and character.  At SWR, juniors having a weighted cumulative high school GPA of 90 or above after the second marking period are then invited to apply to become a member of our NHS chapter.  If at that point in their junior year students do not have a 90 GPA they are then reconsidered after the end of their junior year and can apply in the beginning of their senior year.

In addition to the GPA requirement, eligible students must show validated community service over the course of their high school career as well as leadership roles they have held in their school or community. 

If inducted, students maintain their active member status by attending at least 7 of the 9 monthly meetings, participate in at least three of the NHS events and by completing four community service hours per month.


The students of SADD created a video to highlight Alcohol Awareness Month and Distracted Driving month. Please click here to view the video. They asked students, teachers and members of the SWR community to share their anonymous stories about how drunk driving has affected them. We thank them for their efforts in sharing these important messages with our greater community.

HS Duo Submit Regeneron Research

Picture of Students thumbnail252403
Two Shoreham-Wading River High School students have successfully submitted their research projects into the Regeneron Science Talent Search competition.

Derek Blanco and Dongkai (Alex) Zhang, who worked with support and encouragement from Science Research teacher Mrs. Dana Schaefer, have made SWR history with the entries.

Alex was a participant in the highly competitive High School Science Research Program at Brookhaven National Laboratory this past summer. He worked in the laboratory of Dr. Xiaohong Yu, whose research involves genetic modification of the Camelina sativa plant to increase fatty acid production in the plant, which would serve to both supplement livestock feed and act as a potential source of biofuel.

Derek has been analyzing the chemical composition of sediment collected from the Shoreham-Wading River High School campus pond both before and after a water main break that occurred a few years ago. His findings are in the process of being presented in manuscript form to be submitted for publication in a scientific education journal.

Derek’s and Alex’s applications are now in the process of being scored by a panel of Regeneron’s Ph.D.-level evaluators and considered for top awards. The top 300 scholars will be announced in early January 2024, followed by the announcement of the top 40 finalists in mid-January.

Ten Shoreham-Wading River High School students – Sydney Albert, Brielle Burtts, Emma Granshaw, Lila Grosso, Anthony Mango, Christian McClain, Everett McClintock, Liam McQuade, Mya Michaelson and Kyle Rose – took part in a Suffolk County High School Leadership Conference, where young minds join with a mission of becoming the changemakers of tomorrow.

Compassion Without Borders, sponsored by the Suffolk County High School Principals Association, is designed to bring student leaders together from across the county to collaborate around a given topic. The event was hosted by Half Hollow Hills High School East and the theme was self-empowerment.

“This was a great opportunity for our students to discover or enhance their leadership potential, learn to make an essential difference and embrace their passion for a positive future,” Principal Mr. Frank Pugliese said.
