Eagle Scout Kyle Hunter Montagni with Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh.

Kyle Hunter Montagni, a senior at Syosset High School, was recognized on Saturday, April 22, during an Eagle Scout ceremony at St. Edward's in Syosset. Over 130 people attended the ceremony, including many local leaders.

Kyle’s Eagle Project provided the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium with an outdoor amphitheater to help educate the hundreds of students and campers who visit each year about New York State’s freshwater ecosystems. All told Kyle’s project involved approximately 50 volunteers for a combined total of 600 service hours from planning through execution.

The event speakers who presented citations and awards included Senator Jack Martins, Legislator Josh Lafazan, Nassau County Commissioner of Labor Christopher Fusco representing the Office of Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, TOB Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh representing Joseph Saladino, SCSD Board of Education VP Lisa Coscia, Syosset High School Varsity Football coaches Paul Rorke and Christopher Williams, Oyster Bay Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Commander Valerie Elefonte and Vice Commander John Hubbard, Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce President Russell Green,

SFD Commissioner Rich Roseo, and an officer with the NCPD 2nd Precinct, along with representatives from the Knights of Columbus, Ancient Order of Hibernians, VFW, American Legion, and BSA’s Nassau County Theodore Roosevelt Council.

Senator Martins set forth an official NYS Resolution acknowledging this great accomplishment that will forever remain in the State record.

Assemblyman Charles Lavine and Members of Suffolk County and Town of Huntington governments who were unable to attend sent citations and letters of congratulation in advance.

In addition Kyle received multiple congratulatory letters — locally from SHS Principal Dr. Giovanni Durante and SCSD Superintendent Dr. Tom Rogers to celebrities including Bill Gates and Chuck Norris to multiple NY professional sports teams. More notably, perhaps, he received congratulatory letters from President Joe Biden, NY Governor Hochul, Vermont Governor Phil Scott, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and Past Presidents Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Jimmy Carter.

Kyle will graduate from Syosset High School in June and future plans include working as a summer camp counselor at Syosset-Woodbury Park — then it’s off to SUNY Cortland to study health and physical education.
