On Friday, June 6, the last day of classes, HANC High School students and faculty filled the school’s auditorium for this year’s Closing Ceremony. The program opened with remarks from Principal Rabbi Eli Slomnicki, who introduced the awards ceremony with a special emphasis on the process of choosing recipients. These awards are a series of honors presented to students who stand out in areas that are valued at HANC. Faculty members nominated candidates for consideration and collectively selected the recipients. Each award was given to one male and one female recipient. Each recipient of the ten awards will be added to the plaques adorning the second-floor hallway.

In a thrilling display of teamwork, skill, and sheer determination, the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) Girls Volleyball team cemented their place in the history books by capturing the league’s inaugural championship title. Facing off against the formidable team from North Shore, YCQ delivered a spectacular performance to claim the crown and bring the championship trophy home.
