On March 19, the national spotlight shined on Mineola as the district hosted the League of Innovative Schools 2024 Convening, a conference attended by over 300 educational leaders and researchers from throughout the country.

During the visit, attendees got a firsthand look at Mineola’s unique instructional curriculum in action and heard from the learners and educators who are engaged in these programs every day.

Here are some highlights from that amazing day!

Over 200 works of student art were on display at the Mineola School District Art Show, which was held on April 4 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.

Among the outstanding works on display were items recently selected for the All-County Art Exhibition by the Art Supervisors Association and nature-inspired clay sculptures that will be installed as part of an outdoor “Garden Project” exhibit at Jackson Avenue School.
