At a recent Half Hollow Hills Board of Education meeting, faculty members who have been with the district for 25 years or more were honored for their dedicated service. In his welcoming speech, Principal James LoFrese estimated that all of the honored guests combined had 2,500 collective years of service to the school district. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Sheldon Karnilow gave a speech thanking everyone for their dedication. Board of Education members read the names of the honorees and presented each with an inscribed crystal paperweight.
