New! Student/Faculty Basketball Game Tournament Results:
We had a great turnout for our annual game of the faculty vs. the student basketball game. The most exciting game of the day was the semi-final game between the 8th grade team and the faculty. The 8th grade team trailed the entire game and mounted a late comeback led by class president, Christopher Paciej, who made a dramatic three point basket as time expired to lift the 8th grade team into the finals. Yet the faculty team would not be held down and got revenge in the final game of the tournament, defeating the 8th grade team behind the leadership and inside play of our very own Senor Gilly. Congratulations to all the participants on a fun-filled event!

Attention: 8th Graders and Parents of 8th Graders!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know Bernards High School has a ski race team? They race and train at Hidden Valley, Mountain Creek and just over the State border in New York @ Mount Peter. Great fun, good exercise and there's no better way to combat the Winter "blahs" locally.
The team has a professional coach and there's a bus that the team commutes in for practices and races.
No race experience is needed, but we'd require that the kids be at least intermediate level skiers. Our ski team has been incredibly successful in recent years including producing the #1 ski racer in the State, qualifying for the team State finals for boys and girls almost every year, and winning conference championships. This past season the girl's team placed 6th in the State and they had the youngest team.
Please contact us if you'd like further information about the program:
