Last week Detective Matt Calcina came to the high school to show the Broadcast Media class his drone and share with them how he uses it for accident reconstruction and search and rescue. Thanks for sharing your expertise, Detective Calcina 🐾
This week's Wildcat Wednesday features our final retiree, Diane Garvey. Diane has been a lunch lady at YHS ( @yorkschoolnutrition ) for 8 years but has been in education for 31 years. Before joining our team here at YHS, she was a special education teacher in Connecticut. When she retires, she is looking forward to traveling -- she already has plans to go to Hawaii, Greece, Vail, and Florida next year -- spending time with her three grandkids, and improving her golf game! She is hoping to be back to substitute next year ... so we may be lucky enough to see her again. Thank you for everything, Diane. We will miss you but wish you the best in your retirement 🐾
Congratulations to the YHS Track & Field Teams! Girls Class B State Champs and Boys Class B State Runner-Up!! What an awesome showing this season ... lots to be proud of 🐾
Students in Ms. Wiebe's AP Physics class learned how to change a tire and were able to make connections to what they learned about torque earlier this year. Way to go 🐾
YHS Graduation 2023 will be streamed rain or shine. Please visit the YSD-PR YouTube Channel to stream the live event Friday June 9, 2023 at 6pm; youtube.com/@ysdpr577/streams
This week's Wildcat Wednesday features another one of our retirees, Carl Gersten. Mr. Gersten has been a math teacher at YHS for 13 years and we will definitely miss his humor around here. One piece of advice he has for all of us is to put our phones down 🙌🏼 We may end up seeing him back in the halls of YHS next year as a substitute teacher (which will make our goodbye a teensy bit more manageable). Mr. Gersten, thank you for everything you have taught us and please know you will be missed. Enjoy your retirement 🐾
This week's Wildcat Wednesday features one of this year's retirees, Mary Mace. Mrs. Mace has been an Ed Tech at YHS for 17 years and her smiling face is something we will miss seeing every day. Our fingers (and toes) are crossed that she will return to be a substitute teacher next year (it makes this goodbye a little easier). Mrs. Mace, thank you for everything you have done for all of us Wildcats and enjoy your retirement. You will be missed dearly 🐾
YHS Yearbook Dedication ... Congratulations to Frank Norton!! A well-deserved honor 🐾

Thank you, YHS Alum, Nick Eaton ('13) [ @Nick_eaton_lifeinfocus ], for joining Mr. Rosenberg's Broadcast Media class via Google Meet to talk with students about shooting sports and working as a video professional. He makes surf videos as well as shoots sports and weddings/events.

This week's Wildcat Wednesday highlights our amazing staff at YHS. We are so incredibly fortunate to have each and every one of them working with our students. We felt there was no better group to honor during STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK than this group 🐾
It's STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK, Wildcats 🐾 Let's show all of our staff members how much they mean to us and how lucky we are to have them at YHS.

Congratulations to Maxine Adelson ('25), Greta Yauch ('23), and Sienna Hilbourne ('23) for being selected to participate in the District I Honors Jazz Festival. Congratulations! We are so proud of you 🐾
It's officially open!! The Pathways "Zen Den" has been created to offer a community space for all of the students in the program to use when they need help focusing, managing overwhelming situations, or just need a place to decompress. This has been a semester-long project that has been worked on in their math classes. Students used systems of equations to compare prices and geometry to determine how everything could fit in the room. The students are proud (as they should be) of this space and Pathways Teacher, Christine Caprio, stated "it took a lot of sustained effort" to get the room open. Congratulations and we are so proud of the work put in to make this an awesome space 🐾
Macy Young ('23) entered a contest to be included in an anthology of high school poetry from across the United States. A sonnet she wrote for her AP Literature class, "My Silver Lining", was selected to be included. We are so proud of Macy 🐾
