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

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

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. While Trevor doe

This year, the Global Studies Program at Trevor is taking students’ education beyond the classroom and across the world. Under the leadership of Mr. Chang, Trevor’s new head of Global Studies, the program offers a series of immersive international trips designed to connect students with world history, culture, and current events. Partnering with American Council for International Studies (ACIS), a group specializing in educational travel for high school groups, the program w

Are Trevor sports better this year? It sure seems that way. Between stellar records and upcoming playoff appearances, school athletics are thriving. Boys Varsity Soccer went 5-0-2 in the regular season, ending as both the only undefeated team and the team with the most goals in NYCAL (with 17). They went on to beat Loyola in the NYCAL semifinals on October 16 before falling to Lycée Français 3-0 in the finals. But just days before an appearance in the NYSAIS State Tournament

This year, the Trevor Upper School gained a new faculty member: Ms. Schnitzer. After graduating from Trevor in 2021 and attending Colgate University, Ms. Schnitzer returned to Trevor to begin her teaching journey. She knew that the perfect start to her teaching career would be here, with a community she had already been a part of. Ms. Schnitzer has joined the Math department as a 10th and 12th-grade Math teacher, working alongside Mr. Chang, Ms. Rogener, and Ms. Ioppolo. Duri

Initially written in 1963 by Ken Kesey and adapted for the big screen fifty years ago, One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has enduring themes that are still very relevant in today’s society. The story follows Randle McMurphy’s stay in a psychiatric hospital after he pretends to have a mental illness to avoid prison. Olivia N. ‘26, who plays McMurphy, describes her role as dual-sided, alternating between a lighthearted, charming masquerade and a serious, almost-crazed person

This past month, the girls and boys varsity basketball teams made it to the league and state championships!

After defeating Grace Church, the girls went up against UNIS. Although they did not win, the girls still secured a spot in the state championships. The following week the girls went up against LREI (Little Red Elizabeth Iriwi

For eleventh graders, Trevor Day School’s annual Service Day consisted of student-led service activities and thought-provoking discussions. Student leaders of the Sending Sunshine Club, Heart Club, Food Insecurity Club, Ronald McDonald House, and Grassroots Grocery each led activities. Alongside these clubs, faculty members oversaw a Project Sunshine service activity and a discussion on food and community. Groups were divided into five sessions for students to perform commun

Trevor students are very fortunate to have the opportunity to build their schedules and choose from various course options. Rising freshmen and sophomores can pick up to 3 arts electives and a P.E. elective, and rising sophomores are able to take an additional science. Moreover, rising juniors and seniors each select English and history electives. Course catalogs for the 2025-26 school year were recently released, and students eagerly anticipated the opportunity to complete t

When did you start working at Trevor? What made you want to work here? I started September 2024. I think in my interview I got a good feeling with everyone I talked to. I was really just attracted to the great balance that they have here between academics and athletics. The people just seemed like really great people. What period of history do you teach? U.S. History. What is your favorite period in history (to teach or in general)? Government, civics, and the civil rights mo
