Several murals adorn the walls of Aquebogue. As part of a Cultural Arts-in-Education project, under the direction of art teacher Maureen Ahern and local artist John DiNaro, every student was able to take part in painting another mural during his/her art class. The mural was painted on five 8-foot panels and now hangs on the wall outside our Cafetorium. Inside the Cafetorium, several large murals, including an amazing ceramic wall mosaic made entirely of old broken or chipped china, ceramic tiles, plates, mugs, beach class, rocks, shells, glass marbles and other colorful items. The donations from the students were broken into small pieces and used to make a 4 foot x 22 foot mural of underwater life entitled "Saving the Sea."
