East Rockaway UFSD is proud to announce that Mr. Vincent Healy, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, has been named a Long Island Hero by the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying. This prestigious recognition honors his tireless efforts in addressing and alleviating bullying within our schools and across the Long Island region.

In his role as Director of Pupil Personnel Services, Mr. Healy has been a driving force in implementing several transformative programs that foster a safe and supportive environment for all students. Notably, his leadership in the introduction of the RULER and Sources of Strength programs has made a significant impact on the mental health and emotional development of our students.
