YSAP STUDENTS ON TV
In a place known more for gang horrors than academic honors, Brentwood High School and neighboring Central Islip now count three semifinalists in the prestigious Siemens competition. The districts earned grants from YSAP to build their own labs, and now partner with more affluent school districts. “They can achieve the highest of high by working with someone that may have a little more than they do. You can’t compare yourself to someone else, be what you want to be,” said Dr. Rebecca Grella who is a veteran high school science teacher at YSAP.
