What has a veteran taught you about America? High school students are invited to explore this question through the VFW’s 2026–27 Voice of Democracy National Scholarship competition. This year’s theme, “What A Veteran Taught Me About America…”, challenges students to develop their own perspective through both writing and speaking. The Voice of Democracy is an audio-essay competition. Students write an essay based on the theme and submit a recording of themselves presenting it. Entries are due October 31, 2026 and should be submitted to our local partner, VFW Post 3054, 8 Jones Street, Setauket, NY 11733, or [email protected]. More information can be found at the VFW’s Youth & Education program.

Through our partnership with VFW Post 3054, these contests give our students an opportunity to share their voices, connect with the experiences of veterans, and have their work recognized beyond the classroom.

We are proud to recognize 22 Three Village student musicians who have been selected to participate in, or named as alternates for, the 2026 New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) All-State Festival. Congratulations to Charles Catania, Victoria Chen, Alan Fagan, Bonnie Fagan, Jiwoo Han, Frances Hao, Eliana Hershkowitz, Brianna Kim, Emily Kral, Benjamin Ma, Alex Maurer, Caroline Paldy, Matthew Pugliese, Siobhan Reardon, Caoilin Sharkey, Olivia Strom, Jiyong Sugimoto, Eleanor Twiss, Sarah Wu, Victoria Ye, Jason Yin, and Kaylin Zeidler.

Each year, thousands of high school musicians from across New York State audition for the opportunity to perform in one of NYSSMA’s All-State ensembles. Students selected for All-State represent the highest levels of musical achievement in the state and come together in Rochester to rehearse and perform alongside some of New York’s finest young musicians.

This prestigious honor reflects not only these students’ exceptional musicianship, but also their dedication, perseverance, and leadership within our music program. We are especially proud of the many ways these students contribute to their ensembles, support their peers, and help shape the vibrant musical community we are lucky to have here in Three Village.

Congratulations to our 22 outstanding musicians on this tremendous achievement! Also, congratulations to our amazing staff members for their hard work and dedication. Pictured are Dan Hayes, James Hein, Hannah Pawluk, Vinney Tunkel and Director of Fine Arts Ashley Ockner.
