East Northport Middle Schooler Accepted Into Math Institute

Recently, East Northport Middle School was informed that sixth-grader Luke Tuthill was accepted into the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented Students.

Luke is one of approximately 90 students out of 600 nominees who qualified for this honor across Long Island. As a student of the institute, Luke will spend 50 hours during the next 20 Saturday mornings studying an extensive mathematics curriculum.

This tuition-free institute is supported by SUNY College at Old Westbury, the Suffolk and Nassau County Mathematics Teachers Associations, the Nassau Interscholastic Mathematics League and others.
“I started at the beginning of the school year, and I really like it,” Tuthill said.

The Northport-East Northport School District commends Luke for this tremendous achievement.
