HANC High School: a day in its life

On Feb. 12 and 18, eighth grade girls and boys from various schools took part in the annual Day In the Life at HANC High School. 

On both days, visiting students had the opportunity to participate in interactive classes in both limudei kodesh andgeneral studies which showcased HANC’s rigorous academic program. Highlights included interactive shiurim in Gemara, Chumash, Navi and special electives, as well as innovative lessons in engineering, history, music and science (where students extracted DNA from strawberries).

During lunch, students learned even more about day-to-day life at HANC, viewed a student-produced Israel advocacy video, wrote letters to chayalim and mingled with current students, administrators and staff. 

To top off the school day, the girls created their very own painting in the AP Studio Art class and the boys participated in an intense basketball clinic which was facilitated by our varsity basketball coach and current members of our basketball team. The program concluded with Mincha in the school’s beautiful library and a recap of the day’s events. All students went home sporting a HANC Hurricane athletics bag. 

This unique program allowed prospective students the opportunity to experience a typical day as a HANC student while envisioning their next four years in our incredible school.
