On Tuesday, November 11th, 2025, the Academic Decathlon team visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Currently, the students are studying the Roaring Twenties, which includes various artworks from the Jazz Age. Three of the artworks being studied are on display at the museum: I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth, City Activities with Dance Hall from America Today by Thomas Hart Benton, and Let My People Go by Aaron Douglas. Twenty-four students were able to view the artwork firsthand, as well as explore the rest of the museum! They viewed exhibits from ancient cultures, art from around the world, armor, musical instruments, and sculptures. Thank you to Mrs. Corritore, Mr. Mandy, and Ms. Agoglia for providing this experience for our students. We wish them well in this year's quest to the State Competition, which will be the sixth year in a row!

Students in @MrsDeutschHHS’s Digital Publications class are cooking up creativity with their latest project—Delicious Designs! Using food elements to build visually captivating 2-page spreads, students explored layout, typography, balance, and design principles… all while making our mouths water. 📸🍫🍬
This hands-on activity blended creativity with technical skills and gave students a true taste of what it means to design with purpose. We’re proud to showcase their hard work and talent!
