Area Students Getting It Done In College

The Sachem community has much to be proud of as its college students will be returning home for the holidays with a bit of a feather in their caps. The following students earned Dean's List recognition for the Fall 2012 semester at Rochester Institute of Technology:

In addition, Kenneth Lewis, a first-year student from Ronkonkoma attending Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania was awarded this year's Presidential Scholarship. The Presidential Scholarship goes to top-ranking high school applicants based upon their GPA, high school class rank and SAT or ACT scores.
