B a b y lo n S e n io r a m e d a l w in n e r As a result of his dedication and commitment to his academics, Babylon High School senior Salvatore Albanese has been awarded this year’s Rensselaer Medal. This medal is awarded to students who have distinguished themselves in the areas of mathematics and science. In addition to a commemorative certificate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), this honor entitles Albanese to a $15,000 per year merit scholarship, which would be applied to his annual tuition should he elect to attend RPI in the fall. The Rensselaer Medal is presented annually to recognize the superlative academic achievement of young men and women, and to motivate students towards careers in science, engineering, and technology. If he chooses to attend RPI, Albanese will receive his official medal during an Honors Convocation program in the fall. Salvatore A lbanese is shown with his guidance counselor, Stephen Vaccaro, Principal R obert Visbal, Director o f G uidance/School Counseling Tracy Lesnick, and Superintendent o f Schools Dr. Ellen Best-Laimit.
