With the induction of three members of the Classes of 1970, 1975, and 1976, the Copiague School District’s Hall of Achievement proudly boasts 72 members. This year’s induction ceremony, which capped off a successful Homecoming, welcomed Patricia M. McMahon, Class of 1975; Major Rudolph J. Purificato, Class of 1970; and Bishop Dr. Curtis S. Redmon, Class of 1976. “The goal of the Hall of Achievement is to introduce positive role models to our school community,” remarked Superintendent of Schools, Charles A. Leunig. “Such models, by their very nature, inspire students to adopt high aspirations. It is our hope that you will take on an active role – either directly or indirectly – in giving back to future generations of Copiague graduates.”
The Hall of Achievement was created 14 years ago in an effort to recognize those graduates of Copiague High School who have succeeded in their careers and lives. Inductees also include those who have distinguished themselves by virtue of their contributions to community and society. The primary goal of the Hall is to build pride for all Copiague graduates: past, present, and future.
The evening concluded with the unveiling of the wall that holds the Hall of Achievement plaques prominently displayed in the main hallway of Walter G. O'Connell Copiague High School.
