Ever wonder how much energy is hiding in your favorite snack? 🧀🔥
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!

A huge thank you to everyone who made last week’s Homecoming Dance such a success! 🪩✨ Great music, amazing energy, and unforgettable memories were made. #HOCO
With reflective and meaningful Yom Kippur wishes, may this Day of Atonement bring peace, forgiveness, and renewal.
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.
With sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah wishes, may the new year bring peace, good health, happiness, and hope. Shana Tova! 🍎🍯
A quarter of a century has passed since our world was forever changed on September 11, 2001. Today, we pause to remember the victims, support their families, and express eternal gratitude to our first responders and military.

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!!!!
