HHS PTSA Selling Personalized
Plaza Bricks
It is equal parts fundraiser and outdoor beautification project. The Huntington High School PTSA is selling engraved bricks, which will be laid within the plaza near the school’s main entrance.
Organizers of the initiative are reaching out to current students and their families, alumni and the local business community. Many bricks have been purchased as a memorial to departed graduates. The initiative initially debuted in 2008 with periodic installations of new bricks.
Different size bricks are available. A 4” x 8” brick can be purchased for $100. It offers space for three lines of 14 characters each for engraving. An 8” x 8” brick is available for $150. It provides space for six lines of 14 characters each.
“Our brick program is once again up and running,” said Alice Marie Rorke. “We are selling the bricks to all alumni, parents, grandparents and anyone else interested in commemorating a loved one’s time at Huntington High School. Many families like to purchase one for a graduating senior.”
Dozens of new bricks have been added since the original installation and dozens more are expected to be laid during the current school year. Proceeds are earmarked for the PTSA’s scholarship fund.
The personalized bricks are being crafted by North Shore Monuments and professionally installed by Harbor View Construction. Huntington High School alum Anthony Porco is donating labor for the installation. The next installation is scheduled for this fall.
