Congratulations to the Mineola High School eighth and ninth grade Drama Club who brought audiences to their feet with three joyous performances of “Sister Act Jr.” on May 9 and 10.

Packed with powerful music, energetic dancing, and an uplifting message of friendship, “Sister Act Jr.” was the perfect production to display the incredible talent of the young cast. From the first notes to the final curtain call, the actors sang and danced their hearts out and found the perfect balance of drama, charm and celebration with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

Behind the scenes, the stage crew performed their tasks with flawless precision, including lights and sound that brought vibrant color to the stage and ensured that the fantastic voices carried right to the back row of the packed theater.

Finally, as we’ve come to expect from the Mineola Drama Club, the exquisite costumes, elaborate sets and a dramatic backdrop were top notch and transported audiences to the chapel and made it abundantly clear how much time, effort and talent went into this final Mineola performance on the school year.

The district is #MineolaProud to congratulate junior Michael Lampasona on being recognized with the award for Best Research Paper in the Category of Economic Development, Housing and Jobs by a Junior Researcher at the 2025 Long Island Youth Summit, which took place on April 4 at St. Joseph’s University.

Michael's research investigated the question, “how do VRBO listings and hotel accommodations in culturally rich cities around the world compare in average cost and consumer satisfaction?” Michael used a triangulated method including a statistical analysis and coding of consumer reviews which offered an in-depth understanding to multiple perspectives, to consumers, investors and business entrepreneurs.

The Long Island Youth Summit brings together high school students for a day of interactive workshops with experts in the fields of medicine, the environment, business and the economy and leadership and offers students a unique opportunity to interact with students and experts in various fields of business as well to win awards for their projects. The Summit is designed to engage high school students in an exploration of important current socio-medical, environmental and socio-economic issues.
