One of the parts of the capital bond project that students have most been looking forward to has been opened. On April 3rd, 2024 the new gym opened.  This new “small” gym will be taking the place of what is now the cafeteria.  A newly constructed purpose-built gym is now in daily use and the old “small” gym is a full-time cafeteria.  Modern wainscoting and paint have been added to the cafeteria, making it feel truly transformed.

This year, Greenport's spring musical is going to be High School Musical On Stage! The show is on April 5th and 6th. Our audience only sees the finished polished product but there is so much more than that. So much happens in the many months leading up to the show that the audience never gets to see ahead of time; all of the moving parts, from choreography, to stage crew, to our ensemble. The play has so many layers that the regular person might not see. So this article is going to take a deep dive into what actually goes into the production of our high school play; this is a dive behind the curtains.

Air superiority has been regarded as one of the most important missions of the modern military as the roles of aircraft in conflicts continue to expand. Modern Russian Surface to Air Missile (SAM) batteries such as the S-400 and even the brand new S-500 have proved to be highly effective against most conventional aggressors because of their cutting edge sensors, even rivaling the far more expensive western systems.

Olivia Rodrigo, the former child actress turned pop superstar returns with her sophomore release. Following up her critically acclaimed debut album SOUR, which earned the young star 7 Grammy nominations and 3 wins.

You may be aware of the terrifying crocodilian family.  You can find them in the Southern United States, South America, Africa, or even Southeast Asia. Whether you’ve seen an alligator, caiman, gharial, or crocodile online or in person, you can consider them all crocodilians in general.
