Kevin Bracken was a graduate of the Central Islip High School Class of 1982. His 8 year career as a New York City Firefighter started with Engine 23. He eventually made his home with Engine Co. 40 - Ladder Co. 35.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Kevin's company was dispatched to the World Trade Center. Tragically Kevin and his unit of 11 other firefighters were lost.

To honor their friend and classmate, who so bravely sacrificed his life to save the lives of others, the Class of 1982 has established The Kevin Bracken Memorial Scholarship.
