Port Jefferson Senior Represents Peers At Board Meetings

PORT JEFFERSON, NY — The Port Jefferson School District Board of Education welcomed Earl L. Vandermeulen High School senior Hailey Hearney to a recent board of education meeting, according to a news release from the district.

Hailey serves as a voice of her peers as a student representative to the seven-member board of trustees. Her role is to communicate student activities and upcoming events at the board’s monthly meetings. Her initial reports included mention of the smooth transition to the start of the school year, the Royals athletic off-season workouts, the successful back to school night that was held virtually, PSAT and ACT test dates and Spirit Day themes.

"Hailey’s new role as a nonvoting board of education representative will certainly enhance her communication skills and compliments her successful high school career as an award-winning athlete as part of the soccer and basketball teams and Varsity Club member," the district stated.
