Discipline. They learned what to expect as a student of
Wantagh High School and what was expected of them.

Jean Quinn and Trustee Tony Greco were in attendance
while Superintendent Mr. D’Angelo expressed his desire
for the students to be successful and offered the full
support of the administration and staff.
The freshmen also heard from Miss Keane, Director of
Athletics and student athletes Caitlin Ingrilli and Gerard
Roche about the importance of academics to sports and
the benefits of participation.
Anthony Falco, senior and president of The General
Organization Club (G.O. Club) encouraged students to get
involved and invited them to a reception sponsored by the
G.O. Club in the courtyard to learn about the various clubs
and organizations offered and enjoy some refreshing
Italian Ices.
After Mr. Muzio, Director of Guidance, explained the value
of the Guidance Department, the students were divided
into groups and met with their counselors to receive locker
assignments and class schedules. Finally, they were off to
navigate the hallways, map out their schedules and
practice opening their lockers. Best of luck to the incoming
freshmen and welcome to Wantagh High School!
