Farmingdale Senior High School teachers know that in order to succeed in college or the work world, students must be provided with a challenging and meaningful educational experience at school. Students need to learn long, complex, and difficult things in school. They need to be able to learn in deep ways: to improvise, innovate, and challenge them; to develop concepts, skills, and relationships that will allow them to explore new worlds; to experience learning as a source of enjoyment and as a way to explore and discover who they are.
Farmingdale Senior High School has so many fine clubs; such is the Ambassador’s Club where Members work on bringing the various diverse groups together in a number of ways. The club hosts the South African Harvest team, a group of students from South Africa who perform at the school and visit classrooms talking about issues of discrimination and prejudice and how to confront these issues. It also hosts Diversity Week to highlight the diversity of the student and teacher population in the building.
