Jewish Culture High School

Huge mazal tov to our incredible Valedictorian, Claudia Ohana, and Salutatorian, Shira Green!

From the very first days of 9th grade at JCHS, you both helped set the tone and paved a path of excellence, leadership, and heart that will leave a lasting impact on our school.

Claudia, as you head to Midreshet Harova in the Old City of Jerusalem and then continue to the University of Florida, and Shira, as you head to Baer Miriam in Jerusalem followed by the University of Florida, we are so proud of the paths you are choosing. Your dedication, growth, and character have truly set you apart.

Wishing you both continued success, bracha, and hatzlacha as you take on this next exciting chapter, we can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish!

Another milestone for our .

We were honored to be invited to the nation’s top postseason basketball stage, the Red Sarachek Tournament hosted by Yeshiva University. Coming in as the #4 seed out of 20 elite teams, our boys showed up in a big way.

We didn’t bring home the banner, but we finished 3rd in the country and took home the bronze 🥉. The big stage delivered. Big moments, real memories, and a level of competition that brings out the best.

The unity across all 20 teams was something special. And the Shabbaton, co hosted by NCSY, was powerful and inspiring. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Proud of our guys. Proud of the Miami Fan crew that showed up strong and loud. Final Four. A real shot at it all.

Only loss came to the eventual champions, DRS. Big wins over TABC, Ramaz, and Shalhevet.

Mazal Tov to senior guard, Shilo Kahan, who earned First All Tournament team honors

Mazal tov to freshmen forward, David Albilia, who earned All Tournament All Stars.

This is what Culture looks like.

JCHS Robotics Team is coming home with some hardware, not just the robot, we talking Silver Medal, overall 2nd place 🥈 🤯 🤩 🏆

The team traveled to Memphis to compete in the VEX V5 Robotics Tournament at Margolin Hebrew Academy. This impressive tournament boasted 20 robotics teams, competing in the VEX V5 level.

VEX V5 is an international student robotics competition where teams design, build, and program robots to compete in fast-paced matches. This season’s game, Push Back, challenges teams to score by placing blocks, controlling key areas of the field, and working to descore opponents when possible. Our robot is built to place blocks and help limit opponent scoring with a custom arm (JCHS Innovation)

Kudos to our fantastic team that qualified for this tournament and competed fiercely. Udi Darmony led his fellow students Flora Elgozy and Yehuda Levy to the finals and secured 2nd place. Thank you to our amazing Mr. Wilford Miranda for the dedication and passion you have invested into our robotics team and curriculum, you rock!

Excited for the bright future of our robotics team and our impressive robot, The Iron Lion 🤖 (24253M)

Thank you Mrs. Ohana for traveling with the team and for moral support!

Thank you to the awesome team of University for always putting on a fantastic competition.

Our regular volleyball season has come to an end. But we have two national tournaments to conquer. These girls are all heart and spirit. Hard to find a more unified team. Sad to have 3 legends (Alexa, Adira and Dina) miss media day, but it gave us more space to post silly senior pics :)

Media Day did not disappoint. The poses were confident, the smiles were strong, and the outtakes could win their own championship.

If only our serves were as perfectly timed as these photos.

Here’s to a team that brings the energy everywhere they go. We will miss the very special senior group.

A very special shout out to our 4 year Volleyball 🏐 participants - Alexa Cruz, Claudia Ohana, Dani Kruger, Ruthie Assaraf, Dafna Benhamu, Orli Sharbani and Ellie Elmaleh. We will miss your leadership and hilarious moments. ❤️ 💙 💛
