Hampton Street officially celebrated the "grand opening" of their new little library. This new addition to the school was gifted by the Kiwanis Club, who joined learners and administrators for the ribbon cutting on April 25.

The Hampton Little Library is installed outside our library for learners to read during recess and for the community to use on weekends and arrival/dismissal.

From April 7-14, Mineola High School hosted 17 students and 4 teachers from Murtosa Secondary School in Portugal.

This was the second phase of an exchange initiated last year when 16 MHS learners accompanied by Mr. Pereira and Mr. Escobar visited the coastal municipality of Murtosa where they were treated to an authentic Portuguese experience by their host families.

The visiting students were hosted by Mineola High School families and spent the week immersed in American life. The group, along with their hosts, visited iconic destinations like Rockefeller Center, the Highline, the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square and Central Park. They also visited the largest community of Murtosa ex-pats in Newark where the were greeted at City Hall by Councilman Michael Silva, whose parents immigrated from Murtosa. There was also time for some sightseeing right here on Long Island, the highlight of which was a visit to Planting Fields arboretum.

Perhaps the most memorable experience was the day that our visitors spent with their hosts attending classes at MHS and participating in the annual Battle of the Classes tradition. It was an experience that they will not soon forget.

Before the Murtosa students returned to Portugal they were treated, by the host parents, to an unforgettable farewell party where the laughs, hugs and tears were evidence of the friendships and memories made.

This was the 6th edition of a Mineola exchange with a secondary school in Portugal, the first one being in 1997.

Over 200 works of student art were on display at the Mineola School District Art Show, which was held on April 10 at Mineola High School.

Parents, friends and faculty browsed the exhibit, which featured artwork created by Mineola K-12 learners from each of the five district schools. The styles represented included paint, drawing, sculpture and mixed media.

Congratulations to all the learners who contributed their unique talent and style to this spectacular show and thank you to the amazing art educators who motivate, engage and inspire our students to express themselves through art each and every day.

Congratulations to the Mineola High School Winter Guard on scoring a first place win at the MAIN Winter Guard Championships at Lehigh University on April 12.

“We are #MineolaProud of our Winter Guard for all their hard work this season,” said Marching Band director Ken Kamping. “The growth they’ve shown since the beginning of the year has been tremendous. You could feel their energy on the floor as they performed on Sunday, which resulted in their best run of the season. We are lucky to have Mr. Sandoval and his team lead our learners and teach them to push each other to be the best version of themselves every day.”
