In June, 84 students will graduate from Tamarac High School, with 45% of graduating seniors earning a grade point average of 90 or better. The top ten students in the Class of 2023 have achieved a combined grade point average of 96.55%
“Each June we graduate some really special kids. What stands out to me the most about the Class of 2023 is the adversity this group has faced. I’ve watched them truly grow stronger and closer together as a result,” said Tamarac Secondary School Principal Ken Rizzo. “Collectively this is an extremely caring and emphatic class who treat others like family. Their character and bond they have formed while in the halls of Tamarac will carry them far in life. We are all so proud.”
All graduating members of the Class of 2023 will be recognized and receive their diplomas during Tamarac High School’s annual graduation ceremony, which will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 23rd, outside on the track. Stay tuned for featured spotlights on the Top 10 students of the Class of 2023.

Local first responders and members of Tamarac's SADD club will conduct a mock crash event at Tamarac High School on Friday, May 19th at 8:45 a.m. to remind students and parents about how making the right choice behind the wheel can protect themselves and others from dangerous driving behaviors.
Brunswick Brittonkill Central School District is using the event to remind parents/guardians about the importance of talking with their teens to reinforce teen driving laws, and to set their own family driving rules to protect them from being injured or killed in a crash. The mock crash will take place in the morning of Tamarac's junior and senior prom.
The mock crash uses real crashed vehicles set up on school grounds and student participants to act out roles as crash victims. Set up for the event will begin the day prior. The school’s juniors and seniors will watch the demonstration and learn how emergency responders conduct rescue efforts in real-time.
Elementary School Parents/Guardians: Please note this is taking place around morning drop off time but will take place in the far parking lot of the Secondary School.

Over the weekend, Emilee Roadcap, a Tamarac sophomore and member of the Trailblazers 4h horse club, participated in the 4h Horse Communications contest at Cornell University in Ithaca, placing 2nd in the state in the Seniors division (14-18 year olds). Horse Communications is an individual contest, where contestants present on a horse related topic for 9-12 minutes. To get to the state level, Emilee had to place in the top 3 at both the county and regional levels. As a second place winner, she is the alternate to represent New York State at the national competition in Kentucky in November. Congratulations, Emilee!
