On Thursday, May 28th, a formal celebration was held to honor the seventeen seniors who recently graduated from the Kearny High School Early College Academy. These remarkable students spent four years simultaneously taking their required classes at KHS and college courses at Hudson County Community College, completing 60 credits and earning their Associate’s degrees in Liberal Arts a month before their high school diplomas. The amount of maturity, responsibility and dedication involved in a commitment of this magnitude is something the Kearny School district proudly recognizes and champions.
The students’ counselor, Mrs. Fasciano welcomed families to ring in the occasion, along with Superintendent Flora Encarnacao, Director of Curriculum, Karen Pichinin, and Dr. Cristhian Altamirano and Joycelyn Wong-Castellano from the Early College team at HCCC. Delicious refreshments were catered by Chef Jessica Barone and the KHS Culinary Department for a reception to round out a joyful day. On behalf of the KHS Counseling Department, we thank the Board of Education for their continued support of the Early College program, all staff involved in the programming and the loving families who have cheered their children on through a rigorous, yet rewarding endeavor.
Congratulations!
Students in Mrs. Curry’s KEEP Class at Garfield School showed off their technological know-how at the school’s STEM Fair.
Students in grades 3-6 collaborated to create inventions designed to engage, inspire, and make everyday life a little more efficient. From coding with Twister, to a sip counter, to a mood-tracking lullaby stuffie, Garfield’s young innovators demonstrated creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving at every turn. 💡✨
