The decisions that you make can have a lifelong impact on you and others. Something simple such as sending a quick text on your phone while driving can have deadly consequences.
Juniors and seniors at Briarcliff High School recently got a sense of what it is like to drive while being impaired or while texting on their phone in an immersive educational program using simulators.

A college party. The energy crisis. A television show. A parody about the Girl Scouts.
Theater students at Briarcliff High School have a lot of say about our society and next Wednesday, on March 26, they will showcase their ideas in 16 original one-act plays at the North Castle Public Library in Armonk.

It is that time of year when we shine a light on the students who will represent the Class of 2025 as Valedictorian and Salutatorians. We caught up with Riya Raina, Briarcliff High School’s 2025 Valedictorian, as well as the two Salutatorians – Sophie Tanios and Sage Willey – to find out how their year has been, what advice they have for incoming freshmen and what they have learned during their time at Briarcliff High School.
