Kellenberg Memorial High School

On March 26th, Kellenberg Memorial High School proudly recognized a group of juniors and seniors who successfully completed the school's first-ever Introduction to Cybersecurity course, marking an exciting step forward in expanding innovative, forward-thinking learning opportunities. The Introduction to Cybersecurity course provided students with a strong foundation in digital defense, exploring essential security concepts such as the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) while also examining the mechanics behind major real-world cyber breaches. Through hands-on experience in a cloud-hosted Cyber Range, students worked with industry-standard tools including Kali Linux, Wireshark, and Nmap, developing practical skills in network scanning, packet analysis, and firewall configuration. The course culminated with advanced threat mitigation strategies, introducing students to the principles of Defense in Depth and the NIST framework for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR).

At a time when high school sports are becoming increasingly intense on both the sidelines and in the stands, Kellenberg Memorial stands as a beacon of sportsmanship, with both the boys and girls basketball programs earning prestigious awards this season. The boys basketball program has been honored with the James Greene Sportsmanship Award from the IAABO Long Island Board #41 Referees Association. This marks the fourth consecutive year they have received this recognition, adding to an extraordinary total of 14 overall selections in the program's history. The James Greene Sportsmanship Award recognizes the program that best demonstrates respect, integrity, and sportsmanship across Long Island. The girls' basketball team was also honored, earning the NSCHSGAA League Sportsmanship Award, as voted by league coaches. This award celebrates exemplary character, respect, and fair play.

Kellenberg Memorial High School is proud to announce that 254 junior students have earned Certified Financially Literate status through the W!se Financial Literacy Certification Program during Trimester 1 of the current school year. Now in its third full year at Kellenberg, the W!se program continues to be a cornerstone of the junior curriculum, equipping students with the practical financial knowledge they need as they prepare for life beyond high school.

Kellenberg Memorial is pleased to announce that three students received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. This honor is given for their high academic ability and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT.

Kellenberg Memorial High School proudly announces a milestone achievement: the certification of its 100th student through the Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) program, offered in partnership with Molloy University. Since its launch during the 2018-2019 academic year, the Bloomberg certification program has given students a competitive edge in the world of finance and business. Facilitated by Kellenberg faculty moderators Peggy York and John Heitner, the program resumed full operations in 2021 following pandemic-related disruptions, certifying 20 students annually since then. Through the generous support of Molloy University-who offers their Bloomberg Terminal-equipped facility free of charge-students travel to campus six times per year to complete the interactive, self-paced BMC course. This professional certification introduces students to key financial concepts, including economic indicators, currencies, fixed income, and equities. Many colleges now require BMC certification for graduation from business programs, giving Kellenberg students a distinct advantage before even entering college.

This spring, nearly 1,200 students in the classes of 2026, 2027, and 2028 earned a place on the Honor Roll at Kellenberg Memorial High School. Students with a GPA of 84.5 and above are awarded this special academic recognition.
