Earl L. Vandermeulen High School proudly celebrates the success of 10th grader Sean Grossman, who organized and launched the first annual Culper Spy Day 5K on September 8, 2024.

Sean’s passion for history and running came together in this special event, which drew over 300 participants to a scenic 5K course highlighting several historic sites connected to the Culper Ring, a Revolutionary War spy network active during the British occupation of New York City.

The event was a resounding success, raising close to $10,000 for the Three Village Historical Society education programs. Sean’s efforts not only spotlighted the area’s rich historical heritage but also showcased the power of youth leadership in significantly impacting the community.
