A huge congratulations to our JV debate team for an incredible end to the team’s first season. Ava Communale was awarded best judge last night at the JV championship tournament. Additionally Samantha Martino and Ritikka Jeyachandran were one of 5 teams out of 60 that finished the night with a 6-0 record! It was announced that Martino and Jeyachandran finished the year in 4th place - a true accomplishment! We are so proud of everyone’s hard work and are eager to start prepping for our next season.
TV/Film students had a fantastic time filming our Design Thinking Class at American Dream! Our Cardinal even had a dance-off with Angry Birds "Red"! "Bird Bowl 2025" and more exciting WTV content at American Dream will air soon on the WTV_Network YouTube channel!
Mr. DeBlasio’s Design Thinking class returned to the American Dream to present their many ideas to the Coca-Cola Marketing team. While presenting, they learned they were right on the mark with their ideas on “Prizes/Rewards”, “Big Snow”, “Dreamworks and Amusement”, and the Special Olympics. Hopefully, some of these will be put to good use! Great experience for our students!

From Common Application
Class of 2026: Common App Essay Prompts will remain the same for 2025–2026.
Students will also see 2 changes to the optional “Additional information” questions as of August 1, 2025. First, the current “Community disruption” question will be updated to a “Challenges and circumstances” question to capture a broader range of impacts students may experience. Second, the “Additional information” question word limit will be reduced.
By sharing these updates now, students will have the time they need to reflect on their personal stories and begin thinking about what they want to share with colleges.
