As everyone is gearing up for the anticipation of this Saturday’s Remembrance Bowl event at Locust Valley High School (the first ever played on U.S. soil!), CSH is engaging in pre-game ceremonies to teach students the significance of this occasion. Students in grades 9-12 gathered in the PAC Thursday afternoon for a very special presentation hosted by the Patton Foundation and Operation Democracy.
As part of the Sandy Hook Promise organization, thousands of schools and youth organizations nationwide participate each September in “Start With Hello Week,” a national call-to-action week dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth. Cold Spring Harbor is proud to be a part of this movement that wants to create a culture of kindness and belonging.
Not many people have the chance to meet one of only seven living artists featured in the Louvre. And how many can actually say they stood and painted beside him? That is exactly what our students in AP art experienced the morning of September 18th as we welcomed world renowned Artist Domingo Zapata to speak to grades 10-12.
Officials of the National Merit Scholarship Program have selected six students at Cold Spring Harbor High School as 2024 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists: Saami Ali, Hannah Stark, Charles Wood, Kathleen Engel, Alexander Grosh and Amber Zhou.

What happens when the art teacher finds a roll of paper textured like water? She begins to think, “What could bridge summer fun and the opening of a new school year for our students?” Hence, this beautiful creation by Art Department Chairperson, Christine Oswald. She explained that a wide selection of important contributors to a student’s education became the focus of the chosen portraiture.
Our youngest piled off the buses (often hand in hand) waving to friends, greeting each other and staff with hugs, and for the most part with huge smiles! If someone looked a little lost, they were whisked away to find the right classroom and assured they were going to have the best day. Students busily put away their backpacks in their new classroom cubbies and set up their desks with new folders and supplies.
It was all smiles welcoming back our students the first week of school! Students piled out of buses gathering in the gymnasium for morning assembly to soon hear the chiming of the bell with echoes from 1790 "ringing in" the traditional first day of school - along with its storied history regaled by teacher, Bill Arloff, along with some welcoming words from the Superintendent.
