Recently the LBHS Auditorium came alive with the sound of strings and song as the Long Beach High School Guitar Program presented its Guitar Show and it was nothing short of spectacular. Playing to a packed and enthusiastic audience, students delivered a powerful and diverse setlist that spanned genres and generations from the driving riffs of Guns N' Roses to the harmonies of The Eagles, with stops in folk, country, and classic rock along the way.

The night was a true celebration of musical talent and community. Current and former students joined forces on stage, showcasing the legacy and impact of the program. The audience sang along, cheered proudly, and shared in an unforgettable night of live music. Congratulations to all the performers and Mr. Rossi for creating a high-energy, heart-filled evening that reminded us all of the power of music to bring people together.

LB Fifth Grade Students Learn from Real Hearings and High School Mock Trials Ahead of Upcoming Competitions  

Long Beach High School is proud to announce that six junior division researchers and one senior division researcher have earned the honor of representing our community at the prestigious STANYS New York State Science Congress. The event will take place on June 8 at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) in Syracuse, New York.

This highly regarded competition features top student researchers from across New York State who have been selected to attend by the International Science Engineering Fair (ISEF) or have advanced from an affiliated regional competition. The selection of our Long Beach students highlights their exceptional scientific achievements and marks a major milestone in their academic and research journeys.

To reach this level, each student researcher presented their study to three separate judges at the Long Island Science Congress. Roughly 2% of all projects from over 80 Nassau and Suffolk County schools were nominated to advance to the state competition. The junior division advanced 16 projects, while the senior division advanced 22 projects.

Representing Long Beach are:

Biology – Medicine/Health: Shayna Tozer for her in-depth analysis comparing the diagnostic accuracy of traditional throat cultures to rapid tests for Streptococcal pharyngitis.

Biology – Animal/Plant: Rylee Varian and Karina Rios for their innovative research on behavioral changes and neurological networks in planarians after varying exposures to ginkgo extract.

Ecology: Sydney Olivo, Victoria Sinnona, and Alyssa Malewicz for their study on the ecological effects of acetaminophen on keystone flora and fauna as an emerging contaminant in the Long Island Sound surface waters.

Behavioral Science: Sydney Bergstein for her thought-provoking investigation into how artificial intelligence can be inappropriately used to lower self-esteem in adolescent girls.

Long Beach School District takes immense pride in these exceptional young scientists. Their hard work, curiosity, and commitment to scientific inquiry reflect the best of our academic community. We eagerly anticipate their participation at the state level and the future contributions they will make to science.
