💯 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:
Giovanna has been absolutely dealing in the circle! With her dominant performance, she surpassed 100 career strikeouts. Watching her command the game from the rubber is a masterclass in focus and power. Keep bringing the heat!
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." These two prove that when you have both, you’re unstoppable.
We are so proud of you both! Let’s keep this momentum rolling into the rest of the season. 🥎💪

Happy Mother's Day to all our HP moms out there! Enjoy this beautiful day!
The Spring Choral Concert will be held on Tuesday May 12th at 7pm featuring full choir performances from the school’s vocal ensembles.
The spotlight then shifts to a more intimate setting on Thursday, May 14th at 6pm for the Applied Vocal Music Showcase. The performance will highlight six students from a year-long vocal class focused on solo performance, vocal technique, and stage presence. The showcase will offer a unique opportunity for audiences to experience individual performances in a smaller setting, while also serving as a final curtain call for four graduating seniors.

Our talented musicians traded the practice room for the Wizarding World and CityWalk this spring break! We are beyond proud of our HP Band and Choir for their incredible performances at Universal Studios Florida.
From the haunting melodies of the choir to the high-energy sets from our band, these students showed Orlando exactly what HP spirit sounds like. It wasn't all work, though—between the standing ovations, they managed to fit in plenty of butterbeer, rollercoasters, and core memories.
"Music is the strongest form of magic." — and our students definitely proved that!
A massive thank you to our directors, chaperones, and families for making this unforgettable trip possible.

🌟 ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Liana Ilutzi (HP Class of 2013) 🌟
From the basketball courts of HP to the trading floors of Wall Street! 🏀➡️📈 We are thrilled to feature Liana Ilutzi, a standout alumna who is now making waves in the global energy markets.
The Journey: After graduating from HP in 2013, Liana headed to MIT, where she served as Class President and delivered the commencement speech at graduation! She graduated in 2017 with a BS in Management Science—a shift from her original plan to study neuroscience. 🧠
Current Role: Liana is currently an Executive Director in Energy Derivatives Trading at JP Morgan. ⛽️ She manages the US Refined Product trading business, focusing on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Her day-to-day involves modeling supply and demand and analyzing geopolitical events to manage portfolio risk.
Advice for Aspiring Traders: "If you have a real interest in markets, try building your own models and tools to come up with trading strategies. The best way to learn is to practice! Also, network—find alumni on LinkedIn to get real-world insights." 💻🤝
HP Memories & Lessons:
Fondest Memory: Meeting her husband! ❤️ Plus, countless hours in clubs and sports with amazing teammates and coaches.
Life Lesson: Channeling Coach Wear’s wisdom: "There are two things you can do with adversity: you can run from it, or you can face it head on." Liana credits HP for teaching her the resilience needed to tackle problems head-on—a vital skill for a trader!
Teacher Shoutout: Coach Wear sees enough of me during basketball season, so I won’t force him to hang out with me any further…LOL. The other person who inspired me was Mr. Minsavage - he was one of the kindest and brightest people I’ve been lucky to be around. He helped me further understand life’s real priorities— he was a great life and math teacher!!
Surprise Fact: Even as a busy Executive Director, Liana still hits the court and plays basketball every single week! 🏀✨
Check out Liana’s MIT Commencement Speech here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMf4OPWVpUo 🎤
