Unlike Irene, Joel dropped out of Long Island's Hicksville High School. He did not graduate with his class in 1967 as he missed a crucial English exam. In 1992 he submitted essays to the school board in lieu of the missed exam. They were accepted, and he was awarded his Hicksville High School diploma 25 years late.
