The Valley Stream Central High School District proudly welcomed its students back for the 2024-2025 school year on September 3. Students arrived on a bright, sunny early autumn day at South, North, Central, and Memorial Junior High Schools to begin their classes.
District officials worked hard throughout the summer preparing school facilities and instructional materials for the students’ return. New offerings for students this year include additional Advanced Placement classes, honor society opportunities, and college enrollment options, as well as expanded extracurricular and athletic programs. These complement the District’s already robust academic, athletic, and vocational programs, along with major wellness and DEI initiatives, including restorative practices, teacher training in a culturally responsive-sustaining education framework, and the District’s wellness centers, among others. With these initiatives, the Valley Stream Central High School District is poised for a productive school year.
“It is so wonderful to welcome our students back for another school year,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Wayne Loper. “We look forward to all the great achievements they will accomplish this year and wish them a safe, healthy, and happy year ahead.”
