A hearty round of applause to the super-talented New Paltz High School musicians who, despite the heat, truly sparkled on stage Tuesday evening (May 19)!

The performance featured the Tenor-Bass Choir, Treble Choir, Mixed Choir, A Cappella Choir, and Select A Cappella Choir (directed by Nicole Foti), along with the Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Winds, Clarinet Choir, and Concert Band (directed by Brandon Sparkman).

There were many memorable moments throughout the evening, including vocal soloists, student musical accompaniment, student guest conductors, and heartfelt tributes to seniors, who took the stage for the final time in their high school careers.

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat—oh, what a night!

For over a decade, our high school Physical Education department has partnered with Ryan Colter of the DEC to offer our students a unique physical education program.

Each May, along with the support of our transportation department, SUNY New Paltz, and Jenna Manning our physical education secretary, students get the chance to learn the lifetime sport of fishing first hand. Thanks to Stewart’s Shops and everyone else who continue to help our outstanding physical education program.

This is a catch and release program using hooks without barbs that is held at the beautiful SUNY New Paltz pond. Congratulations to Trent on his big catch!
