Three Village school district officials this month honored dozens of Ward Melville High School student-athletes from the Class of 2022 who have committed to playing college sports.
At the high school’s annual athletic college recognition ceremony, the students were individually announced and commended for their dedication to academics and athletics.
“In today’s very competitive age of school and sports, it is not easy to make a high school athletic team, let alone a college athletic team,” said Kevin Finnerty, the district’s executive director of health,
physical education, recreation and athletics. “To commit to playing sports at the college level is an extraordinary accomplishment, and you fall into a small percentage of student-athletes to compete at this level.”
