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

Six of Crows centers around six characters: Kaz, Inej, Nina, Jesper, Mattias, and Wylan. Within a city of crime and magic, each of them brings their own set of skills to the table.

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.

U.S. History. What is your favorite period in history (to teach or in general)? Government, civics, and the civil rights mo
