For its exemplary record of leadership, service and activities that serve to improve the school and community, the Bellport High School Student Council has been recognized as a gold-level winner of the 2025 National Council of Excellence Award by the National Student Council. The Bellport High School Student Council is one of only three high school councils on Long Island and one of only 10 in New York State to receive the gold-level award.

A student council must meet a variety of criteria to be eligible for this award. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings and a democratic election process, the council must demonstrate successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community.

This school year, the Bellport High School Student Council hosted a variety of unifying, schoolwide pride events and held several fundraisers, including a food drive for local food pantries.
