leadership students on ted x stage

This Week in Photos: November 2-6, 2026

Our Leadership students received an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the inaugural TEDx event at Hobart and William Smith Colleges! Students watched presenters rehearse their inspiring talks and engage with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including a NASA astronaut, graduate students, faith leaders, and a bestselling author and mental performance coach for professional athletes. They also enjoyed lunch with the speakers and took a campus tour while running into some familiar friends along the way. This unique opportunity showed students how leadership extends beyond their high school classroom, exposing them to new perspectives, inspiring ideas, and real-world experiences! Big thank you to Cori Bohan and the HWS TEDx Committee for inviting our students to this incredible opportunity.

As we prepare for the District’s Veterans Day celebration on Tuesday, November 10, Mrs. Bookmiller’s 5th graders created heartfelt cards filled with messages of gratitude and appreciation for our veterans’ service and sacrifice. A meaningful way to teach students the importance of kindness, respect, and honoring those who have served!

High school students in our Agricultural Science and Agricultural Mechanics classes joined forces to develop and present designs for a potential campus project!
