J.T. - Class of 2018 - "To put it short, Mr. Treppiedi’s Reel History class is one of the best elective classes you can take if you have any slight interest in movies. Every minute you spend in the class feels less like work and more like admiration of the art of cinema, topped off with the charismatic and insightful joy of one of the best teachers I’ve ever known. You will learn about the many of eras of film and the years that passed since, all while enjoying a great set of movies that are varied in genre, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. Do yourself a favor and check out Mr. Treppiedi’s class, you won’t regret it."

I.P. - Class of 2022 - "In the beginning of the school year, I did not know exactly what courses to take. Once I saw that Mr. Treppiedi was going to be teaching a class about film, I immediately knew that it was the perfect class to take. I had taken Mr. Treppiedi’s class, which was Rock & Roll History. I knew how he managed his class which was really simple and fun. He treats everyone with respect and he will expect the same from you. I enjoyed being in his class because you get to learn about film,  For instance: editing, sound design, the cinematography and much more, but overall we get to see films that relate to the real world and how it impacted the way films have changed throughout the time. It is a great experience to be in a class that talks about filming and to be able to learn about film process, and to actually evaluate a movie as a critic.  The films that we watch are all sorts of varieties: western movies, criminal movies, and my favorite black and white movies.  Mr. Treppiedi is one of the most chilled teachers.  He lets you make up the assignment if you take the work seriously. If you're into learning about film and the behind the scenes processes of a movie, this course would be perfect for you.  P.S. if you answer the question the teacher asks, you might get a chance to earn a burrito in his class!"

A.S. - Class of 2021 - "The reason I decided to enroll in Rock and Roll History this year was because I’m a fan of that genre. Another reason was because it seemed like a fun class which I was right. One last reason is I like to listen to and discover new songs and artists. The history behind some of these famous artists is also fascinating. So this is why I took Rock and Roll History for both semesters for my senior year I have enjoyed it and I’m eager to see what else I learn."

M.M. - Class of 2017 - "Taking Mr. Treppiedi’s R&R History class allowed me to gain a greater appreciation for all genres of music through the decades. I also discovered classic films & artists that have heavily influence the music industry today. I would highly recommend his class for anyone who wants to broaden their musical interests."

N.S. - Class of 2022 - "I took this class because I didn’t have a 6th period, so I met with my grade level principal to get a class.  When she mentioned Reel History I thought the class was interesting and so that’s why I chose it.  What I liked about the class was the atmosphere.  It felt like it was a class that you wanted to be there and to learn about pop culture and how movies had changed society and its effect on the world around us for years.  One of my favorite assignments was writing a review for the movies."
