It’s a new school year at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central)! Over the summer, Wildcats traveled, worked, volunteered, vacationed, and experienced life outside the classroom – and now Team Central is meeting the 2026-27 school year with joy and intention. The new theme for this school year? “Living with Gratitude.” Over the fall and spring semesters, YUHSG will offer events and initiatives that will encourage faculty and students to approach each day with an eye for brachos and a sense of thankfulness for everyday gifts, both large and small.

The first day of school was filled with such a wonderful and warm atmosphere. It was fantastic to see the hallways bustling with life once more after a long break. Catching up with old friends and welcoming new faces brought an immediate sense of community and excitement. The positive energy was contagious, making everyone feel ready for the upcoming year.

MTA seniors recently explored the complex idea of patriotism through four different lenses. At four interactive stations, students examined presidential perspectives on patriotism, explored the relationship between patriotism and law, analyzed how patriotism is expressed through art, and considered what social science research reveals about patriotic beliefs and behaviors. The activity encouraged students to think critically about what patriotism means, how it has been expressed throughout American history, and how different perspectives shape our understanding of love of country.

There is something almost magical about the beginning of summer.

The hallways were filled with smiling children on the first day at HALB and Lev Chana! Everyone was very excited to see their friends and meet their new teachers!

On Friday, HALB Middle School celebrated America’s 250^th birthday. Students participated in a special assembly culminating with the reading of the Declaration of Independence. After that, they went outside for America-themed games and a delicious all-American barbecue.
