One last , right down memory lane! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🥹
Not too long ago, they were the students lining the hallways, looking up to the graduating seniors who seemed so much older and so far ahead.
Today, the NPS Class of 2026 returned to the schools where it all began. They walked past familiar classrooms, saw their elementary and middle school teachers and were cheered on by the students now filling the buildings they once called their own.
For a moment, the years in between seemed to disappear.
The clap out was more than a tradition. It was a reminder of every lesson learned, every friendship made, every challenge overcome and every person who helped, believed and supported them along the way.
The story that began on their very first day in Nyack Schools is reaching its next chapter and we couldn't be prouder of our seniors. ❤️🖤

🦸♂️💥 POW! BAM! WHAM! Comic Book Day Took Over the GLC at Nyack High School!
The GLC transformed into a full-blown comic universe as students celebrated Comic Book Day with an action-packed adventure led by Nyack High School Library Media Specialist Amanda Birro.
From comic-themed games and super-powered trivia battles to scoring free comics featuring everyone from Spider-Man to Jack Kirby classics — and everything in between — there was excitement around every panel turn. Students also struck their best superhero poses at the comic book photo booth and spent the day celebrating stories, creativity, fandom and fun together.🕷️🎭📸
Whether students came dressed as comic experts or casual fans, everyone found their origin story at this year’s event! 🦸♂️🦸♀️💬
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s Comic Book Day such a MARVEL-ous success for our students and school community.

There’s so much to explore right here in our community!
Our students have been having an amazing time learning, playing and making memories during their recent field trips around town. From exploring local fire houses and touring pizza parlors to learning in the parks, visiting bowling alleys and so much more, every adventure has brought new experiences and hands-on learning opportunities outside the classroom. 🍕🚒🎳🌳
These trips are about much more than destinations — they’re about building connections, discovering new interests and creating the kind of core memories that last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to our gracious community partners for always welcoming our students and teaming up with us to make these experiences so meaningful and memorable. Your support helps bring learning to life in the best possible ways.
And the fun isn’t over yet — we’re looking forward to many more adventures between now and June! ☀️

🚨 PENS UP, REDHAWKS — THE NEXT CHAPTER IS OFFICIALLY SIGNED! 🖊️🔴⚫
The future is looking FAST, fierce and full of RedHawk pride as another incredible group of Nyack student-athletes officially committed to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level! Family members, teammates, coaches and supporters packed the gymnasium to celebrate a Signing Day filled with excitement, memories, gratitude and plenty of proud moments. 🦅✨
From record-breaking runners and standout swimmers to lacrosse leaders, baseball stars, football players and soccer standouts, these athletes have put in the early mornings, late nights, extra reps, bus rides, practices, meets, games and everything in between to earn this. Their signing ceremony was more than just putting pen to paper — it was a celebration of years of dedication, perseverance, teamwork and growth both on and off the field.
The speeches and stories shared throughout the ceremony were a reminder that athletics at Nyack is about much more than wins and losses. Coaches become mentors, teammates become family and the lessons learned through sports help shape confident, resilient young adults ready for the next level.

Thank you, Nyack Community! There’s truly no place quite like NPS and our community is simply the BEST.
In Episode 14 of 30 Seconds of Insight with Dr. LRG, we spoke with our students about the successful passage of next year’s budget. They shared the many reasons they love their schools — from the opportunities and experiences to the caring adults and strong sense of community that make NPS such a special place to learn and grow.
Our learners also wanted to express their heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your strong support in passing the 2026-27 budget last night. This vote reflects our shared values, our commitment to students and the strength of our partnership as a community.
Thank you for continuing to invest in our children, our schools and our future. In NPS, it’s true — RedHawks really do rise together.
