Standing room only at open house for HANC HS

The high school of the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County welcomed eighth graders and their parents at its annual open house on Nov. 16.

After opening remarks from HANC Menahel Rabbi Shlomo Adelman, the Michelle Hoch and a student produced video called “HANC Life.”  Hoch described her high school experience — the rigorous curriculum, the warmth, and the various opportunities afforded to students at HANC.  

Parents and students proceeded to classrooms where they attended mini-lessons g in both Limudei Kodesh and General Studies. The program continued with a panel presentation featuring our students, parents and alumni; guidance and academic showcases, and an interactive and eye-catching activities fair titled “The HANC Palette.”

Prospective students had an opportunity to attend an Engineering and Art Expo where they observed the school’s 3-D printer in action, student produced projects, and an interactive computer engineering program.  One visiting student then commented, “I never realized there are so many opportunities available to choose from in high school.”  Simultaneously, parents attended a workshop on HANC’s integration of technology in the classroom.

One parent remarked, “What an impressive group of students! The ambassadors were pleasant, friendly and poised. It was refreshing to attend an Open House like this. It really gave us a genuine feel for the school.”
