Earlier this week, Hanlon students had the opportunity to explore the world without leaving the classroom through immersive virtual reality experiences. One group of students journeyed deep into the Amazon Rainforest, discovering its unique ecosystems and wildlife, while another group traveled to the Great Wall of China, gaining a firsthand look at one of the world's most remarkable historical landmarks.
These engaging experiences helped students make meaningful connections to their curriculum while expanding their understanding of geography, history, culture, and the natural world.
Each year, the IAC recognizes two student-athletes from every member school who exemplify outstanding character, sportsmanship, leadership, and integrity both in competition and within their school community.
Rilke and Connor have consistently demonstrated the qualities of respect, responsibility, and positive citizenship, serving as excellent role models for their peers both on and off the field.
We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition. Congratulations, Rilke and Connor! 🎉🐻
