The first week of school for the 2024-25 academic year is now in the books.

Just shy of 240 students were welcomed back with open arms as they got the feel for their class schedule.

On Friday, the annual Activities Fair was held in the Riley Auditorium for students to choose from a variety of extracurricular clubs and activities ranging from Ambassadors, Communications, and Chess Clubs to Throne of Games, Academic Challenge Bowl, and Black Student Alliance.

It was a busy week for Panthers athletics!

Golf was victorious over Mohonasen on Tuesday, as was varsity volleyball which won in straight sets. The tennis team also took home a win on Tuesday over Schalmont.

On Thursday, the golf team added another victory, this time over Catholic Central.

Congrats to the swim team which held its first meet on Thursday. Lily '28 came in 1st Place in diving, qualifying her for Sectionals. Sofya '29 and Fina '29 both achieved personal bests, in the 100m breast stroke and 1m free dive, respectively. Alice '24 achieved a personal best in the 500m free.

Also on Thursday, the tennis squad shut out Troy 8-0 and it was another clean sweep for varsity volleyball with a 3-0 win over Schalmont.

Next up: JV and varsity volleyball host Shaker on Monday. Tuesday, Golf is in action versus Albany Academy, and soccer, JV and varsity volleyball host Lansingburgh.
