Bridge Breakthroughs in Engineering I Honors
Tensions ran high in Mrs. Monczka’s Engineering I Honors class as students tested their balsa wood truss bridges in the ultimate sand weight challenge. After weeks of planning and precise construction, bridges were pushed to their limits—resulting in both triumphant holds and dramatic collapses.
Top honors went to seniors Declan Kelly and Charlie Kling, whose design held an impressive 20.5 lbs before yielding to gravity. Well done to all, and thanks to Mrs. Monczka for capturing the excitement!
Sports Live Club Visits Red Bulls’ Sports Illustrated Stadium
Members of Mr. Hill's Sports Live Club got an inside look at the newly renamed Sports Illustrated Stadium as part of the New York Red Bulls High School Career Day. From sales and finance to communications and youth programs, students learned about a range of careers in the sports industry.
The highlight of the day? A one-on-one video call with Red Bulls play-by-play announcer—and Monmouth University professor—Matthew Harmon, who shared his career journey, broadcast insights, and practical advice on internships and networking.

Biology in the Field: Stream Study at Martin Brook
Mr. Seebode’s Biology II class took their studies beyond the classroom with a hands-on field visit to Martin Brook’s Stream, where they conducted a real-world biodiversity assessment. Students worked together to capture and identify organisms as a way to evaluate the overall health of the stream. The outing was a great success, with more than 10 different species discovered—including salamanders, snails, and dragonfly larvae—highlighting both the richness of the ecosystem and the value of experiential learning.
