ELVHS Lauded as School of Excellence
Royal Pride continues as Earl. L Vandermeulen High School was named a
School of Excellence by the New York State Public High School Athletic
Association. One of only 14 high schools in Suffolk County and 135

their commitment to challenging student-athletes to achieve a statewide
recognition.
“This honor is a testament to the continued efforts of our
student-athletes and varsity coaches, who in addition to the teamwork
that is instilled on the playing fields and courts, place an important
value on academics,” Adam Sherrard, the district’s director of health,
physical education and athletics said.
To earn the School of Excellence Award, 75 percent of the high school’s
varsity teams qualified and received the NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete team
award.
