Although he is sad to see Dr. Centamore go, Mike says his new position is a great opportunity for him to work with what he calls “a solid group of people” in the South Huntington administration and Board of Education. “From being at every single board meeting since I've been here, I see what they do,” said Mike, “and you can tell it's from the heart. Everything is for the kids. The way they honor different groups at the board meetings or have students come in and perform part of a play or talk about a field trip, they really don't forget their mission. And I think they do a really good job staying conscious about the community in terms of what they do for them when it comes to tax levy, asking for money. I think it's a balance of what we need.”
