Every June, as students celebrate their last days of school and anticipate the coming summer months, the yearbook is released. Many students carry these books with them to adulthood and look back on fond times with their friends, which makes the Yearbook club such a significant part of high school at Trevor. One of the most important and complicated aspects of the yearbook is picking the theme. On this topic, Yearbook Editor Liv C. ’26 said that “coming up with a good theme w

In a world full of constant communication, it’s never been harder to talk to my friends. Before you read on, think about something for a minute: when was the last time you had a real conversation with a peer? I don’t mean “Have you done the math homework yet?” or even “Where’s your shirt from?” I mean an actual conversation with real substance and authenticity. If you answered that it’s been a while, I have a theory as to why that might be. We use our phones, and social medi

This year, Trevor has taken its first major step towards reducing student screen time with the introduction of a new phone policy supported by the screen-time-management app Opal. A select group of students–myself among them–is participating in a trial program for a few weeks in the fall in order to help the administration understand how Opal works in a real school environment and whether it could meaningfully change student behavior.  At its core, Opal is designed to help u

Starting off with her hit single “Sue Me,” singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert took the music world by storm with her blunt lyrics and catchy chorus. A month after releasing her first song, Hobert released “Bowling Alley,” her second single for her debut album titled Who’s the Clown? . The alt-pop album gained instant popularity, especially the songs that feature Hobert’s signature candid writing style. In songs like “Thirst Trap,” where she details all-consuming thoughts over a

From TikTok star to Pop star, Addison Rae can do it all.     Breaking away from the mold of influencers trying to be singers, Addison Rae reinvented herself and established herself as a successful pop artist. Addison Rae made her claim to fame with her viral TikTok dance videos starting in 2019. She accumulated millions of followers that year throughout different social media platforms by lip-syncing and dancing to songs. She later joined the Hype House and moved to LA from a

The Winter Chorus Concert is a beloved Trevor tradition that takes place every December before winter break. Led by the chorus teacher, Ms. Taylor, the concert is a celebration of the hard work of chorus students from sixth to twelfth grade. In Middle School there is a regular/standard chorus, and in Upper School it narrows down to more specific branches of chorus. There is Treble Chorus (soprano/alto), A Capella (advanced ensemble), and the Troubadours, an all-male chorus (

Many Trevor students attend school athletic events, but the reality is that most events with packed stands are varsity games. And while Trevor’s varsity players are extremely talented and exciting to watch, all of those players started somewhere. For many of them, that “somewhere” was Junior Varsity (JV). I myself have witnessed the development of JV players firsthand; I have been a part of five JV teams in my first three seasons of high school. Many of my JV teammates have g

This past November, Trevor hosted the fourth annual Trevor Futsal Charity Classic. Started by Zoe S. ‘24 in 2021, the Charity Classic and its organizational responsibilities were handed down to Girls’ Varsity Soccer (GVS) captain Dalia P. ‘26. Trevor hosted Calhoun, LREI, UNIS, and Loyola in the third-floor gym, where each team played two games and a championship game for the teams with the best records. This year, Trevor GVS took home the first-place trophy. The Trevor Futs

Hurricane Melissa smashed into Jamaica on October 28 as a historic Category 5 storm, leaving behind destruction unlike anything ever seen before. “It sounded like the whole sky was breaking apart,” said Kingston student Mariah Thompson, who sheltered with her family in a school gym. With winds reaching 185 miles per hour, the hurricane tore roofs off buildings and snapped power lines across the island. Emergency officials reported that more than three-quarters of Jamaica lost

I tend to become invested in critical societal and environmental issues only to realize that my commitment rarely extends beyond good intentions. Fast fashion was the first—and admittedly only—problem I have remained committed to mending. It all started with the HBO documentary I watched a little over a year ago, Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion . The film exposed Brandy Melville, the incredibly popular teen clothing store, revealing its CEO’s corrupt and predator

Earlier this year, New York State enacted Chancellor’s Regulation A-413, which bans all personal Internet-enabled electronic devices, such as smart watches and smartphones, starting in the 2025-26 school year. The New York ban requires school leaders to create their own plans to prevent student smartphone usage, as Governor Kathy Hochul says, “from bell to bell.” This includes during class periods, during lunch, and during any free periods students may have.
