Our Social, Emotional and Academic Learning program, entering its sixth year, parallels  the Dignity for All Students Act, and is the foundation for creating a safe learning environment in which our students can learn and develop the emotional competencies that lead to success in the 21st century world for which they are being prepared.

Our co curricular activities, including our athletic teams, mirror this focus. and add to the total development of our students.  Groups such as our GSA and LEO clubs lead the school in activities that teach acceptance, compassion, empathy and service to others.  Our students develop their leadership skills in the classroom, in their clubs and organizations and on the athletic fields.  They are ready when they leave the high school to assume these roles and successfully further their studies and work.

During the past two years, West Babylon Senior High School’s English department has been focused on enriching students’ literacy through the joy of independent reading. According to the Next Generation Learning Standards, “independent reading is an essential part of English Language Arts and Literacy instruction; two of the lifelong practices of readers highlight the importance of independent reading, as we develop students’ ability to self-select texts based on interest and read for multiple purposes, including for learning and for pleasure.” Through a variety of choices – from print to electronic, literature-based to nonfiction and myriad activities and projects – students are recognizing that literacy is not just an essential part of learning, but of life as well.
