Students at the Sachem Academy had the opportunity to engage with inspiring guests during two impactful days of programming on September 29 and 30. 

Officer Mueger, a member of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Community Relations Team, visited the Academy alongside motivational speaker Ian Garfinkle, who delivered uplifting messages about determination, perseverance, and the power of maintaining a positive mindset.

Garfinkle’s presentation encouraged students to embrace challenges, set goals, and live a healthy lifestyle through optimism and resilience. His stories and strategies offered real-world applications for students navigating the critical years of high school and preparing for their futures.

Officer Mueger, who is committed to building strong relationships with youth across the district, will continue as a regular presenter at Sachem Academy this year. Her sessions will focus on key topics relevant to today’s high school students, blending life skills, community awareness, and positive decision-making.

Sachem Academy is proud to offer students meaningful opportunities to connect with community leaders and guest speakers, fostering an environment where academic learning is paired with personal growth and empowerment.
