In Ms. Weiss-Mercord's Calorimetry Lab, students burned a cheese ball beneath a soda can of water to measure the temperature change—calculating the exact calories packed into every bite!
Students in Mrs. LaRossa’s Architecture and Engineering classes took on a fun and challenging spaghetti-and-marshmallow tower activity. 🍝🏗️ Working with a set number of materials, students were challenged to design and construct the tallest free-standing tower possible. Teams had to think creatively, test their ideas, and make adjustments as they worked to create a stable structure.
Students had a great time with the challenge and came up with some creative and innovative designs! The activity provided a hands-on opportunity to practice problem-solving, teamwork, structural thinking, and the engineering design process.
A massive thank you to everyone involved in making this event such a huge success! #KearnyPride
The Kearny High Boys Soccer team captured the championship of the Rutgers Newark 7v7 Summer League this past Thursday. Behind the outstanding performance of Kolton Gryckiewicz in goals, the boys rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the finals and tied the game up with 90 seconds remaining before taking home the title with a 2-1 advantage in penalty kicks. The comeback against an old Watchung Conference foe, allowed the Kardinals to end the 8 week program as Champions for the fourth summer in a row.
Congratulations!!!!
🌍✈️ Kearny High School explored the Azores! 🇵🇹
Our students spent the week immersed in the natural beauty and environmental wonders of São Miguel, Azores. From hiking Sete Cidades and exploring volcanic landscapes to learning from environmental scientists, whale watching, visiting geothermal hot springs, touring local farms and tea plantations, and experiencing Ponta Delgada, this trip brought classroom learning to life in unforgettable ways.
We are so proud of our students for embracing every adventure and representing Kearny High School so well!
✈️ Interested in next year’s trip to France, Germany, and the Alps? Students should email Ms. Maltz at kmaltz@kearnyschools.com.
