Herricks Students Collaborate on Long Island Revolutionary Museum Experience
On Jan. 12, students from Herricks High School and Herricks Middle School partnered to bring history to life through the creation of the Long Island Revolutionary Museum, welcoming fourth grade students from Searingtown, Denton and Center Street elementary schools.

Inspired by the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War, this interdisciplinary project highlighted collaboration, creativity and student leadership across grade levels. Herricks High School students in Dr. Jacobs’ Social Studies Research class led the planning and coordination of the museum, managing logistics and guiding fourth graders through each exhibit. Seventh grade social studies students, supported by teachers Ms. Banke and Ms. Kellachan and library media specialists Ms. Gerantabee and Ms. Thompson, designed engaging presentations that brought key historical themes to life.

The interactive museum featured five learning zones:

  • Long Island’s Revolutionary Women

  • African Americans on Long Island During the Revolutionary War

  • The Revolutionary War on Long Island

  • Revolutionary War Technology Developed on Long Island

  • A Legacy of Revolutions on Long Island

As they toured the exhibits, fourth grade students completed guided learning packets and reflected on what made Long Island revolutionary. They will now create illustrations inspired by their learning, which Herricks High School students will compile into a digital mural to be shared with all three elementary schools – capturing a meaningful, district-wide experience rooted in community and collaboration.
