Seaford High School Earns Award for Financial Literacy

Seaford High School students recently earned recognition for financial literacy.

The school was one of 10 Nassau County schools to be named a Blue Star School for high student achievement, school officials said.

The honor was given by Working in Support of Education, a non profit organization that gives a financial literacy certification test. If a school has 10 or more students achieve a 75 percent passing rate on the test, to receive the certification.

Seaford has now earned the certification five years in a row and Social Studies teacher Scott Gilbert earned a Gold Star teacher rating for having 96 percent of his students pass the  test.
