Newsday is preparing its annual special section on the Class of 2024, and we would like to invite your school to participate.
We need your help in two areas:
- Valedictorian and salutatorian information
- Extraordinary Seniors nominations
Before you submit anything, please note the following:
- Do not email any information. Use the following online forms for submissions, and access them at the links below.
- For questions or comments, please contact Dorothy Levin at 631-843-2334 or Edward Colby at edward.colby@newsday.com.
Extraordinary Seniors — Due April 15
Our Graduation Issue will spotlight exceptional seniors Islandwide. To nominate a student, tell us about his or her unusual accomplishments, inspiring personal story or contributions to the school or community. This might be a student who has overcome a disability, volunteers for a local cause or has a unique talent. Click here to submit an Extraordinary Senior.
See last year's Extraordinary Seniors here.
Valedictorians and salutatorians — Due May 6
This form can be used for both valedictorians and salutatorians. Please submit one form per student. If your school has more than one valedictorian or salutatorian, simply submit another form. You can also specify if your students receive a different title, such as honor speaker. You will receive a confirmation email upon completion of each individual student's submission. Please submit by visiting newsday.com/valsalform.
Before you submit, please note the following:
- You should confirm all the information for this form with each student or their parents before submitting.
- Correctly sized photos can be obtained from your yearbook company.
- All entries for valedictorians and salutatorians must be filled out in their entirety at the time of submission. You will not be able to save the information.
- Once the form is submitted we will not accept changes unless it involves the student’s college or projected major. If you do not have the college and projected major for valedictorians and salutatorians by the May 6 deadline, please contact Dorothy Levin as soon as possible and we will update our information. Do not submit another form for corrections.
