Westhampton Beach High School marked Red Ribbon Week during the week of Nov. 7 with a variety of anti-drug and alcohol activities. Wearing red bracelets in support of the initiative, students participated in presentations about Leandra’s Law, blood alcohol concentration, driving under the influence, consequences and social hosting laws. They also played a “drug-free bingo” game in their health classes and adorned cars in the school’s parking lot with red ribbons and drug-free messages. Serving as a reminder to not drink and drive was a crashed car in front of the school circled by red pinwheels. Students also decorated the fence along their school with a drug-free message.

Two Westhampton Beach High School seniors have accomplished what very few students have — they earned a perfect score on the ACT college entrance exam.

Megan Sitzmann and Gavin Vander Schaaf are among less than 0.5% of ACT test takers to score a perfect 36 on the multiple-choice test. The current average score is 21.

Both Sitzmann and Vander Schaaf are impressive students. Vander Schaaf was recently recognized as a semifinalist in the 2023 National Merit Scholarship Program as a result of his outstanding scores on the qualifying exam. He is also an AP Scholar with Distinction, co-president of his school’s Interact Club, a member of his school’s Youth to Youth executive board and a singer in the chamber choir. He intends to study secondary education in college.

Sitzmann is an AP Scholar with Distinction and a member of her school’s National Honor Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society. She is vice president of her school’s chamber singers and serves as captain of the Westhampton Beach Junior Ambulance. She plans to study biology on a pre-med track in college.

The Westhampton Beach School District congratulates Sitzmann and Vander Schaaf on this outstanding achievement.
