The Black Student Union hosted a trivia night in celebration of Black History Month. Students had a fun time playing a Jeopardy style trivia game created by our BSU President. Thank you to Shane's Brooklyn (@shanes_brooklyn) for donating catered food to the event and thank you to the Caribbean Student Association for their collaboration providing snacks and brain power for the trivia!





Meatpacking District Banner Project

Juniors in Ms. Lefevre's photography class work on their Advertising Photography unit, in which they created a concept for a photo shoot using products and apparel from the School Store. Students worked in teams with assigned roles including Art Director, Photographer, Stylist, and Photo Assistant to bring their concepts to life.

HSFI participate at the Global Citizens Model United Nations Conference 🗽🌍
From committee sessions to the General Assembly floor, our students are proudly representing their countries at GCMUN and making their voices heard on global issues.










Recap for Day 1 at GCMUN: a success! 🌍
Students had the opportunity to collaborate with peers from around the world and build meaningful connections. Thank you, Mr. Jimenez and Ms. Vaccaro, for supporting our HSFI students and helping them gain exposure to diverse cultures and new opportunities!









So proud of our students for representing us at GCMUN and bringing home major honors! 🏆
We earned the Best Small Delegation Award (one of only 6 schools recognized), proving that a focused team of 5–10 can compete with delegations of 40+, and 9 of our 15 delegates received Honorable Mention Awards for their outstanding individual performance and impactful contributions in committee.



Physics is a hair-raising experience! ⚡️
Our physics students have been getting "hands-on" with the invisible forces of the universe this week. We’ve been exploring the shocking world of Static Electricity through two key methods: Conduction and Induction.
The Classic Balloon Trick: Using friction to transfer electrons, leaving us with some gravity-defying hairstyles! 🎈💇♂️
The Electroscope Test: Students used metal leaf electroscopes to see how charges can move without even touching (Induction) vs. direct contact (Conduction). 🔍⚡️

Timing is everything! ⏱️⚖️ Our physics students took a swing at the Simple Pendulum Lab this week to see what truly controls the "beat" of an oscillation.
The big discovery? The period of a pendulum is independent of its mass! Whether the bob was 50g or 200g, the time stayed the same. Our investigators proved that the only variable that truly changes the rhythm is the length of the string.
By timing 10 full swings and calculating the period (T), we confirmed the classic formula: T = 2𝛑√L/g
Swipe to see our students finding their rhythm in the lab! ➡️🧪📐
