“This space is not just for today but for the future.”
Speeches were made, thank yous were given, the ribbon was cut, and with that, a new era began at Smithtown High School East.
After nearly a year of renovations, district administration, staff and students were able to see the brand new High School East auditorium/performing arts center.
Improved acoustics, new lighting, new seats, video monitors and state of the art lighting system will wow visitors as they take in a musical or theatrical performance.
»Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ Director of Fine Arts, Victoria Hartman, says the facility is “not just an auditorium; it’s a state of the art, performing arts center that will be the hub for creativity, learning and community connection.” Superintendent Dr. Secaur praised the collaborative effort it took to make this event possible, as did Principal Rose, who thanked the SCSD Board of Education, the administration team at central office, our facility team, theSmithtown community and former Director of Fine Arts, Mike Mastrangelo.
Friends of Music Vice President, Amy Cusumano told the aduience, "We feel strongly about the partnership role we play in supporting the teaching staff in the music department and all the young musicians who will benefit from this new space. Brave to all of you."
This was the room’s first full renovation since it’s inception in 1959!
