Glen Cove High School
Welcome to Our School
It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to Glen Cove High School, a family of approximately 900 students and 100 faculty and staff members. I have been fortunate to be part of the family at Glen Cove High School for twenty-three years. In addition to being a teacher and coach, I have served in Glen Cove High School as the Dean of Students for five years, an Assistant Principal for six years, and as the Principal for five years. It is from these various experiences that I have had the pleasure of working with so many talented and dedicated faculty members who provide a challenging academic program that is both rigorous and rewarding in an environment that is safe and supportive.
In addition to an inspiring academic program, Glen Cove High School is home to an array of extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and community service based organizations. We highly encourage our students to participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible throughout the school year in order to further develop their interests and talents under the guidance of experienced coaches and advisors.
At Glen Cove High School, we realize that our students are unique individuals who have the opportunity to develop their curiosity and imagination and with the power to shape the future as a result of the experiences and choices afforded, especially during the high school years. That said, I, along with the entire faculty and staff at Glen Cove High School, remain dedicated to providing the tools and resources necessary for students to achieve success, confidence, and productivity in their lives after high school.
I look forward to working with all of you as part of the Glen Cove High School family.

Artists Showcased
Glen Cove High School tenth graders Elsie Goodman and Michal Murawski were selected to participate in the celebrated LIU/C.W. Post exhibit titled, Advanced Visions VIII: High School Artists of Excellence.
Michal, a student of Ms. Doughty, was awarded Honorable Mention for his black and white portrait of Tom Hanks. He was able to convey to the viewer that a portrait is much more than the physical characteristics of a person and explores expression, mood, and technique, as well as historical context.
Michal is contributing his portrait painting talents to a collaborative triptych presently under construction at the high school. In the future he plans to pursue his creative talents studying architecture.
Elsie, a student of Ms. Manzione, submitted a digital print of a film negative taken during a concert in New York City. The image¹s composition, dramatic coloring, focus and grain all contribute to its capturing the essence of the moment.
The Glen Cove HS Top Three
Glen Cove High School is proud to announce its top three academic students for the Class of 2012: Alison Abrams - Valedictorian, Alexandra Gerin - Salutatorian, and Gorov Sodhi - Honorarian.

Glen Cove HS Brings the Movies Hom
e
The Glen Cove High School PTSA recently sponsored the 1st annual Movie Night under the Stars. Nearly 100 students enjoyed sipping hot chocolate, eating popcorn, socializing with their friends while watching the movie Toy Story outside in the school courtyard.
The event was made possible through the efforts of PTSA President Suzanne Anderson and Delegate Antoinette Cappiello, who volunteered their time setting up lights, serving hot chocolate, popcorn and simply having a great time with our kids. Additionally, Glen Cove High School teacher Chris Barry and several student members of the Communication Arts Academy were instrumental in ordering the large movie screen and setting up the wiring and electronic devices.
