And so grade 9 begins! 🏔️🍂

Our newest high schoolers kicked off the year with their annual overnight orientation trip to Frost Valley in the beautiful Catskills — and what a start it was!

From adventure courses to team challenges, students spent the trip bonding, building school spirit, and laying the foundation for their high school journey together. Set against a scenic mountain backdrop, it was the perfect way to grow closer as a class and step into the year ahead as a close-knit community.

Welcome to High School, Class of 2030. The journey has just begun. 💙

Our Grade 11 Lions kicked off the year with a spark! 🌍✨

This year's orientation centered on Community Engagement — starting right here at home. Students rolled up their sleeves to help teachers organize and decorate classrooms, potted plants, cleaned up our block, and took part in leadership workshops on sustainability, kindness, and conflict resolution.

One highlight: a "Leadership in Sustainability" workshop led by Lou Mark of Autodesk, a leader in Sustainability & ESG, who guided students through practical tools for driving real change in our community and beyond.

The goal? To get students actively involved, build leadership skills they'll carry through the year, and deepen connections with each other, faculty, staff, and our wider community.

Thank you, Mr. Mark, for igniting the Pride's passion for a better world.

Lions, here's to a great year ahead! 🦁🌱
