On Saturday, October 14th, HHS Class of '73 toured the building as part of their 50th Anniversary Celebrations.

Herricks High School senior Meredith Daly was recently recognized by the Long Island Arts

Alliance as one of 20 recipients of the Scholar-Artist Merit Award. She has also been selected to

perform with the NYSSMA All-State 2023 Symphony Orchestra. Meredith currently studies

flute with Judith Mendenhall, and she is a member of the Herricks High School Honors Wind

Ensemble.

Meredith is an active member of the Herricks High School Tri-M Music Honor Society where

she is currently Co-Vice President. In addition to her passion for music she is also a member of

Herricks High School Peer Partners Program and Justice League.

On Friday, October 6th, members of the High School Music Department went on a field trip to the Metropolitan Opera House to see a final dress rehearsal performance of the famous opera, La Boheme, by Giacomo Puccini. For many, it was their first time ever experiencing this grand NYC landmark, as well as a live opera. All of the students came away moved by the gorgeous music, with a newfound appreciation for the art form. High School Orchestra Director, Catherine Birke, stated: "this is one of my favorite trips to do each year, because it's a joy to watch the students become totally invested in something I love so much. I'm lucky to share these incredible musical and cultural experiences with them."

Congratulations to the Herricks Varsity Boys Badminton team, who defeated Great Neck North on Monday to become Conference Champions for the second year in a row!
