Bayport-Blue Point High School is proud to announce Shane Duerr and Alexandria Dobson as the Class of 2025’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.
Throughout his high school career, Shane has exemplified academic excellence and leadership. He has earned high honor roll every quarter and completed 12 AP courses along with two college-level classes. He is an AP Scholar with Distinction and the recipient of 17 Excellence in Department awards.
Beyond the classroom, Shane has been an active member of the school and local community. He served as president of the Class Club of 2025, treasurer of the National Honor Society and Wellness Club, secretary of the Reform Club and a founding member of the BBP Science Education Group. As captain of the boys’ tennis team, he also shares his talents by coaching outside of school. His dedication to service includes tutoring local students and volunteering at events such as BBP’s Community and Cocoa 5K, Literacy Night, Open School Night and organizing a “kindness wall” at James Wilson Young Middle School.
Salutatorian Alexandria Dobson has also demonstrated outstanding academic and extracurricular achievement. She has been on the high honor roll every quarter of her high school career, is an AP Scholar with Distinction and scored a five on four of the six AP exams she has taken through her junior year. With 10 AP classes and multiple dual enrollment and honors courses completed, Alexandria has consistently challenged herself academically.
Her commitment to community service is equally as impressive. She served as an Inclusive Sports and Fitness Summer Program Mentor for four years, supporting children with disabilities in both athletic and creative pursuits. Additionally, she has volunteered at district events, including field days, reading to elementary students and veteran gift basket-making.
As a four-year varsity field hockey player, Alexandria earned All-County Honorable Mention and the All-Academic Award in her senior year. She also participated in JV lacrosse and was involved in the Class Club of 2025, BBP Connect, National Honor Society and the Science Education Group, where she taught hands-on science lessons to elementary students.
Alexandria has received numerous academic honors, including the Albert Einstein Award for AP Physics I, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for AP English Language and the Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony Award in AP U.S. History, among many others. She also earned perfect scores on the NY State Regents exams in chemistry and biology and plans to pursue a career in biology.
The district congratulates Shane and Alexandria on their outstanding achievements and wishes them continued success in all their future endeavors!
