MEET OUR GUEST
Dr. John Durante, a Stony Brook University alum, has been the principal of Syosset High School for 13 years. In 2016 he was named Best Principal on Long Island from the Bethpage Federal Credit Union and is also a recipient of the PTA Founders Day Award and Jenkins Award. Dr. Durante started his career at Syosset High School in 1994 as a teacher of world languages and he prides himself on helping others.
