Westhampton Beach High School Senior Named Scholar Athlete

Keira Kelly, a senior at Westhampton Beach High School, was recently named a Scholar Athlete by News 12 Long Island.

Kelly, who was nominated for the award by Kathy Masterson, Athletic Director for the Westhampton Beach School District, received the honor for her dedication to her studies, as well as her athletic abilities.

“The award took me my surprise. I am extremely honored,” said Kelly, who is a high jumper in the school’s track program.

Masterson said Kelly is truly worthy of the award.

“She is a great kid and we can see her going all the way to the state championships this year.”
