Upper School Students to Present Once on This Island
The Upper School musical, Once on This Island, is happening soon! Our students are excited to share this Tony Award-Winning show with you. The dates and times are listed below. Here's a synopsis:
Once on a golden and lush green Caribbean island, a little girl is rescued from a disastrous storm by four gods: Asaka (mother of the Earth), Agwe (god of water), Erzulie (goddess of love), and Papa Ge (demon of death).
The myth told in this breathtaking story is one of joy and sorrow, the aftermath of colonization and isolation, and the triumph of love against all forces. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, Once on This Island is a testament that a beautiful story has the power to inspire and heal all.

Students Excel at York County Science & Engineering Fair
Recently, 21 Upper School students participated in the York County Science & Engineering Fair. We’re thrilled for Neva Kirk-Jadric on being the Senior Division Grand Champion (overall winner). Based on a list of previous winners, Neva is the very first York City student to receive this award.
In addition, Lily Houck submitted two separate projects – another impressive first. Multiple other students placed, and it was our most successful year ever!
Congrats to all of the students and to science teacher, Mrs. Reed. She cares deeply for her students, and with her encouragement and support, they thrive. Without her lead, these accomplishments would not have been possible. Click here for a list of all the winners and find out about their amazing projects. You'll be impressed!
