Three Syosset High School seniors were recognized by the Long Island Arts Alliance for their outstanding artistic accomplishments in the 2025–2026 Scholar-Artist program.
The arts alliance honors 40 student artists each year from across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, spanning five disciplines: visual arts, music, theater, dance, and media arts.
Melody Chen, who was recognized for visual arts, and Ethen Hong, who was recognized for theatre, have been named Scholar-Artists, and Grace Lu, who was recognized for media arts, received an Award of Merit.
“These students’ wide-ranging talents are a testament to the strength and depth of Syosset’s Fine and Performing Arts program. We are proud to celebrate Melody, Ethen, and Grace on this incredible achievement,” said Christopher Hale, Syosset’s coordinator of fine and performing arts.
The alliance’s selections are made from a student pool nominated by public and private high schools across Long Island.
