In a thrilling display of teamwork, skill, and sheer determination, the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) Girls Volleyball team cemented their place in the history books by capturing the league’s inaugural championship title. Facing off against the formidable team from North Shore, YCQ delivered a spectacular performance to claim the crown and bring the championship trophy home.

When I was in eighth grade, I noticed that there wasn’t a volleyball league for girls in our area. Since so many of us loved playing volleyball at recess, and some of us even took volleyball classes together, I thought there would be a lot of interest in starting one. I was right!

HALB's second grade made a beautiful siyum on parshas Lech Lecha with Rabbi Lieberman. They learned together, sang together, and enjoyed delicious food.

It was an event that was both joyful and bittersweet: On Monday, June 8, the Class of 2026 officially graduated from the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) and joined the ranks of Wildcat alumnae.

This past week served as the second to last for the 2025-26 school year – a milestone deserving of celebration, which the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) Wildcats did in style. On Tuesday, May 26, the entire school embarked on a cruise boat for some sun, relaxation, and celebration. The boat circled the island of Manhattan, and students enjoyed the sights while doing some pre-finals bonding over catering, a live DJ, dancers, and stunning views of lower Manhattan as they circled the Statue of Liberty.
