Elmont Memorial Junior-Senior High School strives to provide an education that is thorough, useful, and inspiring, and an environment in which students take delight in learning. Teachers believe high school is a unique experience, valuable for its own sake. As individuals, students deserve the opportunity to develop their distinctive talents. They encourage them to work together to share these talents, not merely to compete for personal gain. All students should be challenged to think for themselves. It is the hope of the educators to create lifelong learners who continue to grow and explore long after their last test is taken. The administration and staff serve to model the values and character they expect for students: honesty, commitment, fairness and compassion.
