Earl L. Vandermeulen High School was named a School of Distinction by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

The purpose of the School of Distinction Award is to unite varsity coaches in challenging their teams to achieve a statewide academic honor. This year, only 86 schools statewide earned the School of Distinction Award. Port Jefferson received the status by having 100% of its varsity teams qualify for and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award during their respective sports seasons.

Port Jefferson School District Athletic Director Mr. Adam Sherrard will be presented a plaque and a commemorative award at the Section XI local athletic director workshop this fall. The school district congratulates its student-athletes for their continued commitment to academics as well as athletics.
