The Student Athlete Leadership Program (S.A.L.P.) is a drug education course offered to student with leadership and communication abilities at Oyster Bay High School. If selected these students leaders are trained by professional and Olympic athletes to create motivational messages in drug education that they deliver to fifth- and sixth-grade elementary school students. The NY Mets hosted an on-field presentation at Shea Stadium in July of an award to the program. Robert Housman, the chief policy officer for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy met with students and athletic directors from six participating schools to discuss the benefits of the Student Athlete Leadership program.

The Clinton Administration is interested in replicating this program nationwide as part of its anti-drug initiative. Attending the event were Arnold Minkoff, director of athletics, with Lauren Fisher, Dawn Romano and Kevin Brown, members of the Oyster Bay High School S.A.L.P. The program is currently unique only to Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
