BEST SCHOOL PRINCIPAL (TIE) GLEN ZAKIAN - FARMINGDALE HIGH SCHOOL 150 Lincoln St., Farmingdale. 516-752-6600. farmingdaleschools.org For nearly 30 years, Glen Zakian has dedicated his professional life to educating young minds. First as assistant principal at Plainview-Old Bethpage’s JFK H.S., then to the Harborfields School District, and finally, during his eight year (and counting) tenure at Farmingdale, Zakian has shown through example, that he is more than simply an educator and administrator, but an inspiration for both teachers and students alike. Zakian is a role model. He is a mentor. Zakian is a driving force who reflects and shares the most sought-after values of our educational system and society. This top honor—tied with Syosset High School’s Dr. Durante—is a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence, both in and out of the classroom. It’s also a resounding, emphatic “Thank You” from the Farmingdale student body and the community at large. BEST TEACHER REGINA HALL - ST.

The students lucky enough to have occupied desks inside Regina Hall’s English class will tell you that her depth of knowledge of all things literary, her command of grammar, her sense of humor and warmth, and her extraordinary ability to bring the subject to life are the winning combination that makes her classroom a place they will remember long after they hold diplomas in their hands!
