Student representatives from North High School and South High School attended the 2024 Long Island Regional Student Forum, held at Western Suffolk BOCES on Feb. 29.

North High was represented by Student Organization treasurer Jayden Haghani and speaker Matthew Ghodsi, and South High was represented by Student Government president Robin Varughese and treasurer David Feng.

This year’s Regional Student Forum brought together more than 100 students representing over 40 school districts. The theme was “Your Pathway, Your Voice,” and the program featured student-facilitated discussions about important topics such as mental health, school/life balance, school environment, and real-world learning.

This Island-wide event was co-sponsored by Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Nassau BOCES, and Western Suffolk BOCES. Great Neck students were accompanied by North High Student Organization advisor Alison Silk and South High Student Government advisor Jane Callaghan.
