It may be counterintuitive, but an understanding of physics is not the ultimate goal of the physics course that I teach. In our classroom, physics is primarily the means by which we internalize a new way of thinking, by using experimentation, reasoning, discussion, and math to approach problems in creative ways. As such, physics class is not just for students who intend to study physics or science in college. It is for anyone who wants to practice learning how to think.

From the outside, a student choir seems simple: singers standing in neat rows, sheet music in hand, dressed in black and white. However, behind every perfect harmony and polished performance are long hours of dedicated work. The Lawrentians, Lawrenceville’s “varsity” choir, is no exception. Made up of the School’s most accomplished vocalists, this ensemble depends on consistency, organization, and collaboration that extend beyond their voices.

Stef Harrison brings the same clarity, focus, and sense of purpose to the pool deck that she brings to the classroom as a math teacher. As head coach for girls’ water polo and girls’ and boys’ swimming, she helps students discover that these demanding sports are also communities — places where students give it their all every day.

Under the flickering lights of Abbott Dining Hall, a swarm of students jumped, cried, and sang as songs blasted in the space like an artificial thunderstorm. Sneakers thudded up and down against the tile; laughter rolled like bass. The air shimmered with sweat and color and noise, all of it tied together by one steady pulse. And somewhere above that glow stood the source of all the rhythm — one of Lawrenceville’s own.

If you have had Dr. Eduardo Hernández for a History or Religion and Philosophy class, you likely know him as that teacher who can jump from talking about medieval trade routes to ethics to pop culture without missing a beat. But outside the classroom, “beat” takes on a far more literal meaning. 

Lawrentians headed to Pottstown, PA, last Saturday to contest one of the longest U.S. high school rivalries: Lawrenceville vs. The Hill School.
