SAR hosted the Envision Shakespeare competition today. Nine day schools came ...from New York, New Jersey, and Florida to hone their acting skills, celebrate the Bard, and perform a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Congratulations to the SAR team for winning first place, and to Ilan R. for receiving a best supporting actor award!

The SAR College Counseling Team took the junior class on out-of-town college ...trips. Students were able to experience two campuses in one day among four routes: 1) Binghamton University/Cornell University; 2) University of Maryland/Johns Hopkins University; 3) Brandeis University/Brown University; 4) University of Delaware/Rutgers University. Throughout the team, the students took campus tours, heard from alumni panels, and ate delicious food.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch inspired SAR students with her journey in ...public service, leading with integrity, respect, and a no-nonsense approach. From tackling rats as Sanitation Commissioner to keeping New Yorkers safe today, her dedication shines through.

With charm and humor, she also shared what it means to serve as a proud Jewish woman deeply committed to her community.

Thank you, Commissioner Tisch, for your leadership and for keeping our city safe! 💙🚔

Feeling Yom Ha’atzmaut BBQ vibes all over again through the LENS of our ...students. 😎 Thanks for the fun reel, Noa and Noam!

SAR High School students earned the Silver Trophy at the Yeshiva League Science... Olympiad. The team placed 1st in two events, 2nd in two events, and 3rd in two events. Their strong performance not only demonstrated impressive knowledge, but also reflected their dedication and teamwork.
The students spent months preparing and a full day competing, and truly rose to the challenge. Special thanks to Dr. Feng for organizing and guiding the team, and to the Science Department faculty for their mentorship.
Mazal tov to Sara B., Noam B., Benjamin B., Caleb D., Jordana F., David R., Isaac S., Danny S., Eliana S., Aaron M-S., Natalie S., Jed S., and Charles Y., each of whom played a vital role in this achievement. Congratulations to all!

When the feeling is palpable and it’s finally put into words. On Tuesday, ...when Rachel and Jon walked into this building and onto the steps, we were flooded with the emotion of how deeply connected we felt to her and to Jon, to their pain, to Hirsch’s story, and to the many, many words of inspiration that they have shared over the past two and a half years. Coming together with our students was indeed a holy moment for all of us as their tefilot, their voices, their hearts strengthen us all. May we all go into Shabbat holding onto this. Shabbat Shalom. @bring.hersh.home @kraussb

From remembrance to celebration.

At SAR, the transition from Yom ...HaZikaron to Yom Ha'atzmaut is always one of the most powerful moments of the year. We move from honoring the sacrifices that made Medinat Yisrael possible to celebrating the strength, resilience, and joy of the Israel we love and value.

As the siren fades and the celebration begins, our students are reminded that these two days are forever connected…that Israel’s independence was built on courage, sacrifice, and incredible resilience.

Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱 And Shabbat Shalom!!

Gratulationes vobis omnibus facimus! (We congratulate you all!) ...🏆🏅📝
Our students participated in the nationwide Latin assessment, the National Latin Exam (NLE). The exam evaluates students’ understanding of Latin grammar and vocabulary, as well as their knowledge of cultural, historical, and geographical aspects of daily life in Ancient Rome.
Eight SAR students took the exam and achieved outstanding results: six gold medals, one silver, and one bronze. Notably, three of the six gold medalists earned perfect scores.
Additionally, SAR was also awarded a Certificate of Merit for its exceptional performance, and we hope this marks the beginning of many years of continued success on the NLE for our 11th grade and future 12th grade classes.
