Today, we celebrate the heart of our school—our incredible principal, Mrs. Oshenic.
We’re so lucky to have a principal who leads with laughter, listens with compassion, and inspires us daily. Happy Principal's Day! We are #pillaproud of all that you do!

Students in Mr. Marino's 7th grade accelerated Social Studies classes created board games based on the steps of how a bill becomes a law. Games like Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Monopoly, and Jumanji were influences. Students took turns playing their classmates' games after they were finished creating them.
