Today, our seniors had the profound privilege of listening to Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, survivors of the tragic 2000 Seton Hall University dorm fire and founders of the "After the Fire" program. 🔥
Shawn and Alvaro shared their deeply moving story of survival, resilience, and brotherhood, while delivering an invaluable lesson on the critical importance of fire safety as our seniors prepare to head off to the real world.
It was an emotional, eye-opening, and unforgettable presentation that reminded us all that a split-second decision can change a life forever. Thank you, Shawn and Alvaro, for turning your tragedy into a life-saving mission for the next generation. 🙏✨

A massive thank you to Mr. Bill Streiter for coming to speak with our seniors today.
Sharing a story of such profound personal tragedy—the loss of his two children to a drunk driver—takes immense courage. Our students listened with heavy hearts but open minds as Mr. Streiter turned his pain into a powerful, lifesaving lesson about accountability, choices, and the real-world consequences of driving under the influence.
As our seniors prepare to step out into the world, celebrate milestones, and make independent choices, this is a message they will carry with them forever.
We are incredibly grateful for your time, and your dedication to keeping our youth safe, Mr. Streiter. ❤️

💯 A HUGE DAY FOR THE DIAMOND! 💯
Join us in celebrating two incredible milestones reached by our very own today! The hard work, sweat, and dedication have officially paid off.
🥎 The Century Club
Tara DeFazio | 100 Career Hits:
Tara has been a force at the plate since day one. Today, she officially joined the 100-hit club! Her consistency and clutch hitting have been a cornerstone of our offense. Keep swinging that hot bat, Tara! 🔥
Giovanna Pignataro | 100 Career Strikeouts:

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." These two prove that when you have both, you’re unstoppable.
