The Great Hurricane Award aims to honor staff throughout the year who make a difference every day within the school district. “A hurricane is a storm of indomitable force, but more than that, here in Westhampton Beach it stands for honor, hard work, dedication, loyalty and tradition,” said Dr. Probst.
