John F. Kennedy High School seniors William Goedel, Melissa Robinson and Jessica Vinokur recently participated in the Long Island History Day competition at Hofstra University.
Goedel, who researched recent legal accomplishments in the same sex marriage debate, came in second place in the Senior Research Paper Division. His paper, written for Mr. Dennis Urban’s JFKHS senior historical research class, is entitled “Morality versus Constitutionality: The Same Sex Marriage Debate in the United States Courts, 1971-2004.”
Goedel will now move on to the state level competition on April 29 in Cooperstown, New York.
