PEER LEADERS CLUB
High School Peer Leaders Are Mentors to Freshman

The Peer Leaders are comprised of North Shore High School seniors that have applied and received teacher recommendations. They facilitate a North Shore freshman group throughout the school year, assist the 8th grade orientation during the spring and participate in any additional school-related activities during the school year.

The Peer Leaders are provided with training to further develop the tools of empathy and interpersonal skills and grow their awareness of issues connected to bullying and harassment in order to serve as role models within the North Shore High School community. At the Peer Leadership training, students participate in various activities designed to inspire deeper contemplation of and learning about issues relevant to their peer group and tools to better serve them as peer leaders including conversation starters, ice-breaker activities, and methods for reflection.

Peer Leaders are mentors and provide on-going information and support to their freshman groups. They are involved in proactive steps to promote anti-bullying/harassment initiatives. The Peer Leaders are responsible for Unity Day activities in which they develop an anti-bullying/harassment pledge and encourage staff and students to sign. The Peer Leaders attend training before the school year starts and provide an orientation for the freshman before the first day of school and continue with on-going meetings throughout the year. During the first few months of school the Peer Leaders meet with the freshman weekly to assist with the transition. During the 2nd semester, they meet with them monthly to continue to provide information and support.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to be in the Peer Leader Club and provide so much knowledge, support, and friendship to their younger peers at North Shore High School to help make their transition easier. Go Vikings!

NORTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL 9TH GRADE ORIENTATION
Incoming 9th Graders Welcomed at North Shore High School

This morning, the high school principals along with guidance counselors, faculty, and staff warmly welcomed the Freshman Class of 2026-27 to North Shore High School.

To begin orientation, the Peer Leaders and administrators happily greeted approximately 222 incoming freshmen. The Peer Educators Club (Peer Leaders) led small group tours of the building and classrooms, discussed schedules, held fun break-the-ice games, opened lockers, and answered any questions or concerns to help make their transition to high school easier.

It was wonderful to see students once again in our schools, as the incoming freshman class was eager to reunite with their friends from the middle school. Additionally, at 7 PM parents and guardians will listen to an introductory presentation about North Shore High School.

To conclude the orientation, the HS PTO treated the freshmen to cold Italian ices outside in the courtyard! Many thanks to the HS PTO, administration, counselors, and Peer Leaders for all their assistance during the orientation. Best of luck to the graduating Class of 2030 during your high school years!

NORTH SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE 6 ORIENTATION
Welcome Sixth Graders!

Today, Principal Dr. Ryan O’Hara along with Assistant Principal Dr. Maram Mabrouk, faculty, and staff welcomed their sixth graders to North Shore Middle School. It was an exciting time for the sixth graders, as they met their new principals and counselors, saw their old friends, and were introduced to new peers from the other North Shore elementary schools.

Principal Dr. O’Hara expressed how thrilled he was to welcome his sixth graders to North Shore Middle School for the 2026-27 school year. He reassured them that it was okay to feel both excited and nervous. He stated that it was going to be a wonderful year of learning and opportunities for all. For the sixth graders, he discussed their new schedules, teams, lockers, and highlighted the tremendous number of prospects at North Shore Middle School including exciting electives, intriguing courses, and expanded social circles.

During the orientation, the North Shore Middle School Counseling Department was available to assist the sixth graders. Students took small group tours led by upper classmates and faculty, and had the opportunity to see their classrooms, walk their schedules, open their lockers, and ask important questions. 6th graders were invited back later in the afternoon with their parents and/or guardians to not only familiarize themselves with the building but also practice opening their lockers and decorating them!

In addition, the Middle School PTSO was available, handing out boxes of school supplies! We wish all of the North Shore Middle School students, faculty, and staff the best of luck in 2026-27!
Go Vikings!

NORTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL NAMED TOP 2 IN NASSAU COUNTY BY US NEWS & WORLD REPORT - HERALD ARTICLE

By Will Sheeline
North Shore High School has been named the second-best high school in Nassau County and the 11th-best in New York state by U.S. News & World Report, a recognition that district officials said reflects years of work focused on expanding academic opportunities while supporting students. They added that while the recognition is worth celebrating, rankings are not the North Shore School District’s primary measure of success.

CarolAnn Smyth, assistant superintendent for instruction, said that the district has seen an increase in the number of students enrolling in and succeeding in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses. “I think that’s one factor,” Smyth said, “and I do think, over the years, we’ve put a lot of work into just building up students’ literacy and math readiness and proficiency, so that when they get to the high school, they’re prepared to do really well.”

Eric Contreras, the HS principal, said the rankings are meaningful because they validate work already taking place in the school. “Not everything that gets measured matters, and not everything that matters gets measured,” Contreras said, “and usually there’s a lot of stuff that’s qualitative in schools that don’t speak to all the things that make me so proud every day here."

Board of Education President Andrea Macari said the rankings were a welcome opportunity to celebrate the district’s work, but added, “I don’t need a ranking to prove to me the value of a North Shore education...” She added, “These methodologies do not capture the day-to-day magic that happens in our buildings, the indescribable feeling our teachers and students experience,” Macari said. “The beauty of what it is to be a child at North Shore — the methodology does not measure that.”

Tom Dolan, interim superintendent since July 19, credited the district’s students, teachers and staff.
