ESports: To promote positive interactions between students that play video games, explore career and collegiate opportunities surrounding e sports, and begin the process of creating a Hicksville E Sports team that can compete for local and regional competitions and scholarships.

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.

Robotics: We create a robot to compete at a competition. We also get involved with community events. We donate to various programs.

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.

Have a grade of 85 or above in any Regent exam taken.

Took the AP Exam in any AP course they took.

Science Olympiad: 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.

Video Production: Hicksville High School Video Production Club Statement Of Purpose

1) Primarily after school production related work such as the recording of HHS-NEWS and various special school related events and theatrical productions.

2) To provide students with the time, facilities, instruction and support necessary to not only further explore the many technical and non-technical aspects of video production, but to help the students develop exemplary work ethics, and strengthen their communication, socialization, problem solving and critical thinking skills.
