Bellport High School students participating in their school’s New York State Education Department Seal of Civic Readiness Generation Citizen program met with Brookhaven Town Supervisor Edward Romaine and Councilman Michael Loguercio Jr. on April 26.

During the event, the students learned more about town government from the local leaders and the importance of being good citizens. The town also provided the students with reusable bags in recognition of Earth Day.

The South Country School District is one of only a few districts on Long Island to offer the new Civic Readiness pathway, an all-encompassing program that teaches students how to apply civic knowledge, skills and mindsets to make positive impacts in their school, community and the world. It also aims to strengthen relationships with community partners and civic leaders.

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 2022 National Council of Excellence Award by the National Student Council (NatStuCo). The NatStuCo program is supported by its parent organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

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 and a collection for Ukraine.
