Congratulations to Jay N (5Kruvi) for placing 1st in the 2025 New York City Spelling Bee Finals. Jay will be one of two spellers representing New York City at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May. Here's Jay in the championship round spelling "mediobrome".
On Monday, 11/18, HCCS was delighted to welcome Mr. Eddie Woo, the Australian HS Math teacher and author with a world-wide online following for his math videos on Youtube. Thanks to support of the PTA and our ES Math Specialist, Ms. Wolf and our HS Math Dept Chair, Mr. Owens, Mr. Woo presented fun and educational sessions to HCES parents, faculty and students and met with HS students and the HS Math teachers.
HCHS research students traveled to Washington, DC with advisors Mr. Park and Ms. Gonzalez to support our own Ashley Z, a top 40 finalist and to view the other top 40 finalists exhibits during the public day on Sunday March 9th. Many of those studying the exhibits are highly motivated younger students who aspire to enter the Regeneron Science Talent Search in their senior year of high school.
Everyone at HCHS wishes Ashley the best in these final days of the Regeneron Science Talent Search. Finalists meet leading scientists and distinguished national leaders and visit institutions of historic and political importance.
Thanks to the HCHS Alumnae/i Association for sponsoring this trip!
