It’s a new year at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central)! With the observance of Rosh HaShanah, Wildcats are excited for a year filled with new joys, new challenges, and new chances to grow and learn. Some of these growth experiences are familiar. On Tuesday, September 15, the Holliswood campus was open late to welcome Wildcat families into the building for Back to School Night. Parents were invited to walk through their students’ Monday schedule, meet teachers, and talk about the year’s curriculum, as well as spend time with grade deans and administration.

Every year, the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) begins the academic year by providing chances to learn both in and out of the classroom. With this in mind, the school launched its very first annual schoolwide retreat last year. It was such a success that Team Wildcat embarked upon its second annual retreat this week! The retreat centered on the theme of the 2026-27 school year, Living with Gratitude. This theme assumed a pivotal role in the planning of this year’s retreat, which was facilitated by YUHSG’s Director of Israel and Religious Guidance, Senior Grade Dean, and Judaic Studies faculty member, Mrs. Yael Axelrod.
