Congratulations to senior Max Tiska for receiving a congressional nomination from Rep. Lee Zeldin for the U.S. Naval Academy. Max was honored along with other local applicants from across New York’s First Congressional District. The ceremony was held at the Patchogue Elks Lodge with Brookhaven Councilman Neil Foley and Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri in attendance, while Mr. Zeldin congratulated Max and the others via videoconference from the U.S Capitol building.

“We are so pleased to have Max cited for his academic achievement, leadership potential, demonstration of character and participation in extracurricular activities in his nomination,” Principal Mike Miller said. “The Bridgehampton school community is honored to have him as one of our students, and we all congratulate him on this great achievement.”
