Babylon HS Senior Selected To Bring Student Voice To School Board

BABYLON, NY — Babylon Junior-Senior High School senior Katie Bellone has been selected as the student ex officio member of the Babylon Board of Education for the 2025–2026 school year, district officials said.

The role serves as an important bridge between students and the district’s governing board. While the position is non-voting, the student representative contributes directly to discussions about programs, policies, and issues that shape students’ day-to-day experiences.

“I am honored to have been chosen as the student representative on the school board,” Bellone said. “It is important to represent the student body and allow us to have a voice on matters that impact us. I am excited to continue my role throughout the year.”

Bellone is a familiar leader in the Babylon school community. She currently serves as senior class president and previously held positions as junior class vice president, president of Babylon Buddies, and president of the Mock Trial Team. She is also a member of the Superintendent’s Advisory Council, Peer Leaders Club, the National Honor Society, and multiple academic honor societies.

A dedicated three-sport varsity athlete, Bellone competes in soccer, basketball, and lacrosse.

District officials congratulated Bellone on her appointment and said her insight and leadership will make her an asset to the board throughout the year.
