Today, our High School classrooms transformed history from textbook pages into personal, living memory.
To help our students understand the profound social impact of 9/11 on the "common American," our dedicated staff hosted a mini-assembly panel across our classrooms. Our teachers opened up about their own experiences from that day—how news traveled, how communities came together, and how daily life in America changed forever.
Rather than just listening, our students led the conversation—asking thoughtful, deep questions they crafted themselves to explore how history shapes our modern world.
We are so proud of our educators for creating a respectful, engaging space for our students to learn about resilience, community, and history through authentic human connections. 🎒✨

The HP Girls Tennis Team took a trip to the US Open, and safe to say, the energy was unmatched. From watching the pros fire off 120mph serves to soaking up every bit of Arthur Ashe Stadium magic, the squad got a front-row seat to the best tennis in the world.
Huge thanks to our coaches and supporters for making this trip happen! We're coming back to the courts extra inspired, locked in, and ready to bring that Grand Slam hustle into our own season.
Good luck this season girls!
