A New Season With New Opportunities!
The first day of spring is just days away, and with that will come longer days, warmer weather, blooming flowers, and a time to recharge after a long, snowy winter. In Harborfields, spring marks a new sports season, an exciting calendar full of events, and countless opportunities to learn and grow. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at all of our school events!
Class of 2026 Valedictorian and Salutatorian Announced!
Last week, the Valedictorian and Salutatorian for the Harborfields High School Class of 2026 were announced. Please join me in congratulating Leo Lin, Valedictorian, and Michelle Diner, Salutatorian, on their well-deserved honors! These remarkable students exemplify academic excellence, integrity, and a positive impact on their school community. We can't wait to see what they will accomplish next!
ENL Celebration
The Districtwide ENL Recognition Night was a truly memorable evening centered around all the ways our students have grown with gratitude throughout their journeys. Students received certificates of achievement, shared their talents through video and in-person performances, and three graduating seniors imparted wisdom through inspiring speeches. Special thanks to all of the ENL teachers and staff who made it such a special night!
Jazz Cabaret - A Salute to Veterans
Students from the Harborfields High School Vocal Ensemble and Jazz Band joined together to put on a concert and dessert reception for local veterans. Students from our high school Leadership Class played a special role, serving as table companions, and our two musical groups delighted audiences with their talent. The veterans were also treated to messages of appreciation and support through hand-written cards created by TJL students. This annual event is one of my favorites as it allows a meaningful way for our community to express our deep gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our local veterans. Thank you to all who were involved!
Art Accomplishments
The last month has been filled with many accolades, especially within our high school art department. Student artwork has been selected to be on display in exhibits across Long Island, including the Art League, Huntington Arts Council, Babylon Town Hall, Five Towns College, and the Hecksher Museum. We are so proud of these student artists and their outstanding achievements! Click the photo below to learn more about how to view the art for yourself!
Harborfields Got Talent
On February 28, the PTA Council hosted its 52nd annual talent show, Harborfields’ Got Talent, filling the stage with student performers who wowed the audience with their talent, creativity, and confidence. Congratulations to all of the performers and their families for making the evening so memorable! Events like this are made possible by the dedication of many members of our school community, including the PTA Council, our music teachers, and numerous volunteers who worked behind the scenes. This beloved Harborfields tradition would not be possible without all of you. In addition to being a fantastic night of entertainment, the show also helps support scholarships for graduating seniors. If you missed the show live, thanks to the Tornado News Team, you can still enjoy it by clicking the photo below!
AP Seminar Exams Begin
High school students presented team multimedia presentations (TMP) as part of the AP Seminar Exam process. The groups had to complete individual research reports and then synthesize all of their research and information together to create group research questions and present their arguments with potential solutions. These have to be currently debated topics that require thoughtful analysis of the problem and different ways that they could potentially be solved. The students did a phenomenal job researching, collaborating, and presenting!
Save the Date - Healthy Tornado HF Stronger Together Night – April 17
