A National Chemistry Honor Traces Back to Smithtown High School East
A science research coordinator at Smithtown High School East has picked up one of the most recognized national honors in chemistry education, a distinction handed out through the American Chemical Society and tied to an endowed fund supported by the Journal of Chemical Education and ChemEd X. The recognition covers more than two decades of work building out chemistry instruction and research programs on the East campus.
School leaders framed the honor as the product of steady, long term program building rather than a single achievement, noting the research culture on that campus took years to put together. You can read more of the details from Patch.
