When students return to Hewlett High School in September, they’ll notice major upgrades inside and outside the building. The school has undergone a series of renovations that have reinvigorated some of its facilities.

Several science classrooms have been reconfigured to improve sound, sight lines and the interaction of students and teachers. Desks were previously set up in long, front-to-back rows, but the rooms now feature shorter, horizontal rows of desks, with teachers’ desks repositioned as well.

District Superintendent Dina Anzalone said that the improvements would help students see the lessons and hear the teachers more clearly.

The updated classrooms also include new furniture and modernized safety equipment, such as eye wash stations and safety showers, as well as additional cabinet space.

Anzalone said that all of the projects included input from multiple stakeholders in the district including athletics and co-curricular committees, Board of Education members, administrators, teachers, coaches, athletes, community groups, music staff, students and PTA members, who have devoted their time to ensuring that students have the best equipment and learning spaces.
