Principal's Message

Welcome to Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior High School! We are dedicated to graduating students of good character who are intellectually, physically, and socially prepared for their future. Our school offers a multitude of opportunities for students to take advantage of throughout their academic career to help each student reach their full potential. Students can take a rigorous course load of AP classes, obtain college credits through a variety of college partnerships, conduct research through our partnership with Brookhaven National Lab, explore interesting electives, or take advantage of career technical skills through our partnership with BOCES. The possibilities for students are endless with the goal being for students to find their path to the future.

ESM is more than academics; it's a place for students to meet new friends, discover new interests, and participate in events outside of the school day. We encourage students to join clubs, try out for teams, and meet new people to broaden their horizons. Becoming part of the ESM culture by supporting school teams and attending school events helps build lasting memories. These extra curricular opportunities can open doors and opportunities for our students as well.

This is all made possible because of the amazing faculty, staff, coaches, and advisers we have leading our young minds. Our team is ready to assist students in meeting the demands of their education and providing critical support in navigating an ever changing world. Collaboration is a cornerstone for future success, and communication between students, parents, families, teachers, and counselors is vital to meeting every student's individual needs. We believe that together we can provide a rewarding educational experience for every student and help them achieve their goals.

We are excited we can all take this journey together!

About Our School

The Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior High School was built when two districts with a rich history (Eastport and Manorville) merged as one to become sharks. The Eastport-South Manor Jr-Sr High School opened its doors in 2003 for students within grades 7-12. The school continues to develop new traditions and seeks to provide all students with access to a rigorous academic foundation and the skills needed to be successful in the 21st Century. The school achieves this by providing unique opportunities for our student body in a collaborative and supportive environment. The dynamic classrooms foster communication, critical thinking, and creativity within a demanding curriculum. Students are provided access to college classes, work experience and other preparatory programs that will assist students for life after high school.

Our motto:
Building a better tomorrow by making a difference today!

Celebrating Cultures during World Languages Week

Jr.-Sr. High School students explored world culture through participation at various events and classroom activities during World Languages Week, held on March 2-6. 

The school’s World Language Honor Society hosted the third annual International Night where the school community explored countries around the world through individual displays, food and crafts. With passports in hand, elementary students enjoyed exploring other cultures as they visited displays to have their passports stamped. It was an evening in which the Eastport-South Manor community celebrated diversity, embraced differences and demonstrated appreciation of all cultures. 

Seventh and eighth grade students also enjoyed lessons in Latin ballroom dance with dance instructor Michelle Vicale-Smith, owner of Latin Ballroom Lessons in Ronkonkoma. Ms. Vicale-Smith discussed the origins of salsa and bachata dance before teaching basic steps. The students then found partners as they learned to navigate the dance floor, acquiring a new set of dance moves and appreciation for Latin culture.

The Eastport-South Manor Jr.-Sr. High School National Honor Society made a huge impact with the second of three blood drives, held on Feb. 26 for the New York Blood Center. The blood drive was open to all students aged 16 and over as well as to faculty and staff. The honor society collected 41 pints of blood, which was greatly needed after the blizzard forced NYCB to cancel many drives across Long Island.

The third and final blood drive will be held on May 1, 2026.

A Night of Milk and Cookies

The Jr.-Sr. High School’s National Honor Society held its second annual Milk and Cookies Night for the district’s elementary school students on Feb. 26. It was an evening for students to wear pajamas or super comfortable clothes while enjoying a fun night of stories and craft activities. 

Students were divided into three groups and rotated through stations with Honor Society members first reading a book to the group, followed by a relevant craft activity. The students read Marcus Pfister’s “The Rainbow Fish: Sharing is Caring,” Carol McCloud’s “Have You Filled a Bucket Today?” and Anna Llenas’ “The Color Monster.” After the literacy activities were completed, everyone took time to eat milk and cookies before heading home.
