East Meadow High School holds 25th annual Senior Project Fair

During East Meadow High School’s 25th annual Senior Project Fair on May 23, students displayed their yearlong projects detailing what they learned through internships, community service and work experience.

Selection of the activity began with the resume process in September and was followed by students identifying areas of interest and reaching out to sponsors for potential internships and community service projects. During the second semester, the students’ experiences commenced, and they recorded their progress and accomplishments through activity logs.

The culmination came during the Senior Project Fair where students exhibited their experiences with project boards and other visual aids to showcase the skills and knowledge they gained. Classmates, staff members and parents toured the event at the school’s gymnasium and viewed the completed projects.

Additionally, Principal Richard Howard recognized business education teacher Danielle Casamassina who will retire at the end of the school year. She was honored for her role in launching the Senior Project Fair.

“I’m so proud of all of you, and I’m so grateful that I’ve had a job where I can do this type of work,” Casamassina said. “To be able to work in a career that enhances your strengths and fills your passions is just a dream. I’m hoping that all of you will find a career where you’ll end up being as happy as I am right now.”
