Newark Academy was founded in 1774 by the cleric Alexander MacWhartor, a friend and advisor to George Washington.

In fact, the Academy’s sympathies to our fledgling nation brought the wrath of the British who marched across the frozen Hudson River and burned the original building to the ground! Not to be deterred, the school rebuilt, flourished, and continued to emphasize its motto: Ad Lumen (Toward Enlightenment). From its beginning, Newark Academy was a unique college preparatory school in that it opened it

The end of an era. After 45 years, Ms. Galvin is retiring. The hallways were lined with students, faculty, former faculty, alumni and friends today as she made her way through the building to continuous applause.

Our Deli Discussions series wrapped up for the year today with an interactive and fun presentation by Christina Colizza ‘09, Supervising Editor at Wirecutter. Christina talked about her journey from NA to where she is now and gave students an opportunity to try on different sleep masks and take notes on which mask they liked best and why. Did their pick match up with Wirecutter’s selection? The students left with an understanding of how products are reviewed and also with some cool swag! A big thank you to all of our Deli Discussions speakers this year!
