Floral Park Memorial is proud to announce the arrival of the Rising Stars program for students. Created by Assistant Principal Maureen Henry, the program is designed to recognize students for outstanding and unique achievements across academic disciplines.

"Our Rising Stars were selected by their individual teachers and subject area departments and each student has contributed a unique achievement," Assistant Principal Henry said. "This is a program intended to motivate and encourage students to put forth their best effort."

While the typical measures of academic success are grades, this program recognizes any students demonstrating passion and innovation in their approach to learning. In this way, students are provided with yet another opportunity to strive for and achieve excellence.

All of the students' photos are displayed in the main building showcase at the front entrance and outside the department offices for which they were chosen. Assistant Principal Henry encourages faculty, staff, students and parents to view the photo displays and congratulate Floral Park's newest Rising Stars!
