On Friday, March 6th, 2026, the South Huntington Council of PTAs hosted the sixth annual Lip Sing for Scholarships event. Tickets were completely sold out as lucky viewers were able to watch the live performances at Walt Whitman High School or from home and send in their votes for who they believed outperformed the rest. The Performing Arts Center was filled with excitement from all of our district students and families supporting their school teachers and administration.

With our gracious hosts Superintendent Dr. Vito D’Elia, and Deputy Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Mr. Eddie Smith, the night went off without a hitch. The well-dressed duo introduced each act and kept the event moving along smoothly, with performances ranging from popular movies to decade favorites and throwback songs. The performances from each of our school buildings delighted students and parents alike, bringing so much excitement to viewers both in person and watching virtually.

We were incredibly impressed by the creativity of our staff as they took the stage in perfectly planned costumes and choreography to match. At the end of the night it was Silas Wood Sixth Grade Center who claimed the Lip Sing Champion title for the second consecutive year. Ticket sales and votes purchased during and before the event were used to raise money for senior scholarships that will directly benefit Whitman students!

This year’s impressive performances and our enthusiastically loud audience show why Lip Sing for Scholarships is one of the most highly anticipated district events each year.  We would like to thank all of our performers for bringing all the energy and enthusiasm, as well as to our sponsors whose generosity helped make this event happen. An extra special thank you to the South Huntington PTA Council for organizing and producing the event, the Lamplighters and advisor Vito Monti for their work backstage, our custodial staff, and everyone who was able to join us at this year’s Lip Sing for Scholarships event!
