The process involved exploring information about a real injury, building "the break," and modeling the repair! | AP and college prep chemistry scholars recently turned up the heat to study the power of combustion.

Eliza Wicks '26
Theatre Direction
Teacher James Thomas Bailey writes this about Eliza:
“Eliza is an Honors Theatre student at Justin-Siena. Although she has participated as an actress, a dancer, and a technician, where she has really claimed the stage is as a director. She is creative, perceptive, and has a skill with language that helps her connect with actors. Eliza is patient and wise beyond her years. This fall, she was the Assistant Director for our ambitious production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and this semester she will be directing her own production, as well as writing and directing for the 24-Hour Plays, for which students must write, rehearse, prepare, and perform a new play in only 24 hours.
