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.

SWRHS Celebrates Homecoming Festivities thumbnail261129

Shoreham-Wading River School District hosted its annual homecoming festivities on Sept. 20.

Students, principals, teachers, administrators, cheerleaders and families joined in the parade to set the tone for a successful football game against Elwood-John H. Glenn High School.

Before the start of the game High School Principal Frank Pugliese requested a moment of silence after he lauded coach Paul Koretzki as a true legend for his decades of shaping multi-generations of Shoreham-Wading River girls cross-country and track and field teams. The High School chorus under the leadership of music teacher Dennis Creighton welcomed the crowd with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.

Shoreham-Wading River High School was again named a School of Distinction by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The school was one of only 16 Section XI high schools to achieve the honor. This is the fourth consecutive year the high school received the status by having 100% of its varsity teams qualify for and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award during their respective sports seasons.

Athletic Director Eric Bramoff accepted the recognition for the SWRSD programs’ sportsmanship and academic performance during the 23-24 school year.

NYSPHSAA’s School of Distinction Award highlights and celebrates schools that value the importance of academics as well as athletics. The school district congratulates its 25 athletic varsity team members for their hard work in achieving this honor.
