"It's been an amazing four years," declared Co-Valedictorian Aaron Stanton to his classmates at the graduation ceremony for Syosset High School Class of 2004. And the accomplishments the students hold together as a class certainly proved him correct. The Class of 2004 graduated with 99 percent of the students planning to attend college in the fall. Collectively, they received academic, merit-award scholarships of $10,780,77, a figure Superintendent of Schools Dr. Carole G. Hankin told the graduates was a record amount for any graduating class. In addition, Dr. Hankin said that the class also took a record number of AP exams, totaling 1,218 tests over their four years at Syosset High School. Outside the classroom, students excelled on the athletic fields and won numerous honors in many competitions associated with co-curricular clubs and teams. FULL STORY
