Our 12th annual National English Honor Society (NEHS) Induction Ceremony will take place tomorrow, April 24th at 2:15 PM. This year we are inducting 69 juniors from Mepham High School who have done outstanding work in English. As members of the NEHS they understand the importance of communication, the value of listening, and the significance of expression. They have proven themselves capable of serious study of the English language and of pursuing the truth in works of literature or in their own creative expressions of poetry or prose.
Our keynote speaker, Michael White, is the founder and publisher of Greater Long Island Media Group, which publishes community news website that, collectively, were viewed nearly 2 million times in 2017 alone. He's been on the front lines of news and information gathering from New York City, to Long Island's East End, to the boom town that is Patchogue Village, where he launched his first website, GreaterPatchogue.com, on July 1, 2015. Mike has a master's degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and is a former staff reporter for the New York Post and Daily News, where he last worked in the Police Bureau. In 2007, he wrote the second-most stories of any reporter at the News before leaving NYC in 2008 to edit community weeklies in the towns of Southold and Riverhead on Long Island. Today he operates GreaterPatchogue, GreaterBayShore, GreaterBabylon and GreaterPortJeff. The sites publish local news stories daily, in both print and broadcast style.
We look forward to hear what Mike has to say to our inductees. All students are welcome to attend.
