West Side and Lloyd Harbor 6th graders look forward to their orientation and trips over to the Jr./Sr. High School. Next year, they will be walking the halls in their new school, which seemed daunting as they toured every corner of the building to familiarize themselves with what is to come. Assistant Principal Caitlyn Harman was so proud of the student government and junior peer mentors who assisted with tours and breakout sessions. But this year they did more than assist, student government President Sarah Paci and treasurer Andrew Leopard literally planned the entire day! From the assembly in the PAC, to assigning tour groups, to alerting classroom visits – they spearheaded the entire orientation. Kudos to these student teams for taking charge and being exemplary role models.
Senior Art Show Exhibit Please make sure you get a chance to see the exhibit in the PAC lobby and the Gottshalk Gallery by our seniors.

Kudos to our incredibly talented artists, and to all our gifted teachers for the support and guidance instilled upon these artists over the course of their high school career.
It was a celebration of musicianship at the high school spring concert on May 29 showcasing the culmination of endless practice sessions, early morning arrivals, dedication and of course a love for their craft.

The evening program included the Chamber Orchestra and String Orchestra led by Director Amanda Segale, the Symphony Orchestra led by Director James Guarini, the High School Choir led by Director Daniel Santangelo, and the Honor Band and Wind Ensemble led by Director Andrew Hochler.

From hypothesis testing to historical analysis, students in our research courses—including our inaugural AP Research cohort—have engaged deeply with questions that matter to them and to the world.
Born in 1934, Marion's story of horror and hardship began at the age of four in the Netherlands when both her and Anne Frank’s families tried to escape the holocaust but were caught by the Nazis. Both were young girls during the war, and both traveled from deportation camps to concentration camps. Although students sat in silence and tears listening to her story and her will to survive, they heard an important message - a first hand account of triumph of the human spirit and great courage seen through the eyes of a child...
