December 7th, 1941 marked a pivotal moment in our nation's history as the Pearl Harbor attack forever altered our lives. Over the decades, we've remembered the 2,403 lives lost and continue to contemplate the significance of that momentous day.

My name is Matt Ritter, from the graduating class of 1993. During my time at WHHS, I was president of the National Honor Society, and a proud member of the Stage Band, under the direction of Mark Brenner. After graduating from WHHS, I studied English at Hunter College, City University of New York, and then received my Masters in English Education from Teachers College Columbia University. I taught high school English in NYC and then became Assistant Principal, and later the founding Principal of Hillside Arts and Letters Academy, a New York City Public School that proudly serves young people from one of the most diverse communities in the world, Jamaica Queens. I am currently an Assistant Superintendent at Uniondale School District. I am still grateful for all 12 years of my experiences as a student of West Hempstead UFSD! Ram Pride!

Wishing all families in the RamFam and community a warm and joyous Thanksgiving! Grateful for the sense of community and togetherness that enriches the lives of our students. #HappyThanksgiving #WHe
