Robotics Club: Goals of the Meteorites (FLL Robotics Team): Introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FIRST LEGO League teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society. 

CTE Programs located at Hicksville High School:

Construction Trades Foundation

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Endorsement is an enhancement on a student’s high school diploma in the form of a New York State Education Department Seal indicating that a student has completed coursework in a state approved CTE program, along with the requirements for a technical endorsement. The Hicksville School District offers students a choice of two CTE Pathways in which students can obtain this diploma distinction. The requirements for any CTE pathway are as follows: 

■ Teacher completed employability profile 

■ Electronic portfolio of student work 

■ Passing of a nationally recognized exam 

Open To: Grades 11-12 

*Required courses for CTE Certification

Mu Alpha Theta- Math Honor Society: The purpose of this organization is to promote scholarship in, and enjoyment and understanding of, mathematics among high school students. We participate in mathematics competitions and research such as the AMC 12. 

National Art Honor Society: NAHS uses its creative skills and abilities to bring art into the community and raise money for charities. National Honor Society: NHS does community service while maintaining grades above a 93 GPA, creating leadership within the school and community. We do collections for local organizations, each of the students do their own volunteer projects, we help PTA groups with needs throughout the year, create projects within the school to benefit students, etc.

Science National Honor Society: The Science National Honor Society is the only national organization that engenders a new group of young thinkers who will be the future of industry, research, and scientific exploration for America. The Science National Honor Society recognizes sophomores (In the STEM Track only), juniors and seniors who achieve excellence in the areas of scholarship in science, character, leadership, and service. Membership in the SNHS is an honor bestowed upon a student for his/her accomplishments in the field of science and overall academic achievement. Students eligible for membership must have been in attendance at Hicksville High School for at least one full semester prior to induction, enrolled in an advance (AP or College) science class this current school year, have an overall unweighted cumulative GPA of 90 with a 93 unweighted GPA in science classes, be given a grade of 85 or above in any Regent exam, and taken the AP Exam in any AP course they took.

Science Olympiads: Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division. Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation. Teamwork is a required skill in most scientific careers today, and Science Olympiad encourages group learning by designing events that forge alliances. In Elevated Bridge, an engineering whiz and a kid from wood shop can become gold medalists. Similarly, a talented builder and a student with a good science vocabulary can excel in Write It Do It, one of Science Olympiad's most popular events.
