The Gull will be spending the next several months featuring members of the Class of 2021! Catch up with a different senior every week in our Senior Spotlight feature below.  

Meet Emma Pollackov. Emma is one of our amazing seniors here at East Rockaway High School. She is a three sport athlete who is involved in the arts and music here at East Rockaway. She is also the President of the class of 2021. Emma plays an active role in the National Honor Society. During Emma’s free time, she works two jobs and really loves hanging out with her friends. 

Emma was asked an assortment of questions about her time here at ERHS:
