Every year, during the month of March, students across Middle Country Central School District celebrate Women’s History Month to honor the many women who have had major impacts on our country’s history, culture, and society. At Centereach High School, the celebration of Women’s History Month culminated with a Be Bold, Be Brave event.
“While the important contributions made by women throughout our country’s history are part of the regular curriculum, Women’s History Month offers us a special opportunity to highlight these women who have helped shape the world we live in today,” said Thomas Bell, Principal of Centereach High School. “We encourage our educators and students to spotlight women’s contributions, achievements, and voices during this month.”
For the Be Bold, Be Brave event, Centereach High School students selected notable women and created presentations that featured their pictures and stories. As part of the event, choir members and teachers sang women-sung songs that emphasized the message of being strong women and prevailing against adversity and challenges.
“It was an honor to be a guest speaker during our Women’s History Month celebration. Women’s History Month is about honoring the past women that came before us and about all the strong women in the present who will continue to pave the way for future generations,” said Sara Choit, Assistant Principal of Centereach High School. “Special thanks to our keynote speaker Erin Ley and advisor Victoria Cuomo for the countless hours of preparing the brilliant event together.”
