The William Floyd United Teachers (WFUT) recently recognized students from the William Floyd High School Class of 2025 who have committed to joining the United States military post-graduation. The ceremony was attended by WFUT representatives and Philip Scotto, the principal of William Floyd High School. Each enlistee received a t-shirt featuring the district logo with "William Floyd Alumni" on the front and their chosen branch of service's logo on the back.
A total of ten students have made this commitment. The Air Force will welcome Kyle Desimone, Perry Nacionales, Cameron Randall, and Colby Walker. Angelica Amaya, Elijah Copelin, Rafaela Garcia Mendoza, and Joseph Narvaez are set to join the Marines. Thomas Colby and Emely Reyes Cordaro will enlist in the Navy.
“We, the united teachers of the William Floyd School District could not be prouder of these local heroes. We have great confidence that our way of life will endure due to their service,” said WFUT representatives.
These students were also honored at Brookhaven Town's 10th annual “Our Community Salutes” celebration for their upcoming service.
