The W.C. Mepham High School Alumni Association is deeply saddened to share the passing of alumnus Mark Mobius, who passed away on April 15, 2026, at the age of 89.

A proud graduate of Mepham, Mr. Mobius maintained a meaningful and lasting connection to his alma mater. He was a dedicated supporter of Mepham students, providing substantial scholarships that directly impacted the lives and futures of graduating seniors. His generosity was not only financial—it was personal.

Those who had the privilege of meeting him at last year’s Senior Awards program will remember his warmth, kindness, and genuine interest in the students he supported. He took the time to connect, to encourage, and to celebrate their accomplishments, leaving a lasting impression on all in attendance.

Mr. Mobius believed in the promise of Mepham students and in the importance of giving back. His legacy will live on through the many young people whose educational journeys he helped shape.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. The Mepham community is grateful for his generosity, his spirit, and his enduring commitment to his alma mater.

The Mepham Athletic Hall of Fame Touch Wall has officially been installed—a meaningful step toward preserving and celebrating our shared history. While it is not yet operational, this interactive display will soon bring Mepham’s legacy to life, showcasing Athletic Hall of Fame inductees and digitized yearbooks for generations to explore.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni community, including a $5,000 contribution from the Alumni Association, this project is well underway. We are continuing to raise funds to support the digitization of Mepham’s yearbooks—an essential part of making the Touch Wall a rich and complete experience.

If you’re able, please consider contributing to help us complete this important initiative and ensure these memories are preserved and accessible for all.

Support The Touchwall Project

There are moments when a school community pauses—not for an event or a game—but to recognize the people who quietly shape lives every single day. This is one of those moments.

Five educators from the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District have been honored by the Harvard Club of Long Island—a distinction that comes not from administrators or rankings, but from students themselves. Each year, Harvard undergraduates nominate the teachers who made a lasting impact on their lives: those who inspired curiosity, set high expectations, and truly cared.

Among this year’s honorees are four from Wellington C. Mepham High School:
Anthony Brandofino, Dr. David Kommor, Madeline LoMonaco, and Neeru Partap.

This recognition speaks to something deeper than academic success. It reflects the kind of teaching that stays with students long after graduation—the kind that shapes confidence, curiosity, and direction. These are the educators who make Mepham what it is: not just a school, but a place where students are seen, challenged, and inspired.

For alumni especially, this honor feels familiar. We can all point to a teacher who made a difference, who pushed us a little further, or believed in us a little earlier than we believed in ourselves. That legacy continues today in classrooms across Mepham.

Please join us in celebrating these remarkable educators and the lasting impact they have on our students—and on the broader Mepham community.
