Ms. Fortner’s Anatomy students recently completed a two-day sheep heart dissection that brought their study of the circulatory system to life. On the first day, they labeled the heart’s external anatomy and used food coloring to trace the blood vessels. On the second day, they opened the heart to examine and label its internal structures, observing the oxygenated and deoxygenated sides based on where the dye was injected. This hands-on lab allowed students to apply their knowledge of heart anatomy and the pathway blood takes through the cardiovascular system in an engaging, real-world context. #PanthersRISE

Thanks to the hard work of our NJROTC 3rd Platoon and the dedication of Ms. Ryan, our Military Student Garden is once again a beautiful and meaningful space on campus. After being accidentally mowed down by the lawn service, Ms. Ryan stepped up to lead the restoration effort, working to re-envision the area and even securing generous plant donations and mulch to bring it back to life. Our cadets did an outstanding job replanting the space, and we couldn’t be prouder of their effort and teamwork. This garden is a quiet tribute to our military-connected students and families—a place of reflection, honor, and school pride. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! 💙

Our Carpentry students took on an ambitious project—designing and building five custom picnic tables for our school, and they delivered!
