Regis High School

Though summer break began with the end of final exams last week, more than 60 Regis students returned to 84th Street this week to participate in J-Term courses. Typically held on college campuses between semesters, J-Term allows Regians to delve into interdisciplinary topics outside the framework of the academic year, and occasionally outside of the school building itself.

This year’s courses include: Archival Exploration (with Dr. Allison Tyndall), Deep Dive on the Trojan War (with Mr. Louis Cicalese), God and A.I. (with Mr. Louis Cicalese), Macroeconomic Analysis of the European Union (with Mr. Casey Quinn), Mural Painting in the Art Room (with Ms. Robyn Prezioso), and Read This NOW (with Ms. Clair Quaintance and Mr. Christopher Rose).

This spring, Regis welcomed more than 400 alumni back to 84th Street to celebrate their reunions. Each reunion gave attendees the chance to attend Mass, see what’s new around the building, and of course, reconnect with one another. Next year, we are excited to welcome back classes ending in a “2” or a “7” to celebrate their reunions!

Pablo Torre ’03 delivered the keynote address at the 2026 Hearn Dinner on Wednesday night. Torre, the Pulitzer-prize winning host of the podcast “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” spoke to Hearn members about his career and the paths that lie ahead for them. The evening also included performances by Paul Frimpong-Manso ’28, C.J. Ackermann ’29, and the team of Luke Connolly ’26 and Benny Noble ’26. The evening concluded with remarks by longtime Hearn coach Mr. Eric DiMichele and the presentation of awards.

School’s out! While many Regians will be engaged over the summer break with service trips, J-Term, and exchange programs, today marks the last day of final exams for our freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Enjoy the summer, gentlemen!

Hey New York Knicks, need an undercard for tonight?!

Regis won this game against Xavier on March 4, 1962 at the old Madison Square Garden on Eighth Avenue. The matchup of Jesuit schools was played before that night’s game between the Knicks and the Philadelphia Warriors — two teams that also met in Hershey, Penn., two days earlier, when Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points to set an NBA record that still stands.

A group of Regis seniors and staff members took part in a leadership retreat with the Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland, exploring conflict, peace processes, global leadership, and service. During the retreat, the group toured Derry, Belfast, and the Antrim Coast, then traveled to the Republic of Ireland, where they engaged in Ireland’s culture through its music, dance, history, sport, language, faith, and natural beauty. While there, the group hiked at Howth and Glendalough, cycled the Aran Islands, enjoyed a summery beach day in Salthill, and toured Coláiste Iognáid and Scoil Iognáid, the bilingual (Irish-English) Jesuit schools in Galway.

What a weekend! On Saturday, we celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026, and throughout the weekend, our community demonstrated its unwavering commitment to Regis and to our mission through its support for our Annual Fund. We’re proud to announce that thanks to the incredible generosity of our alumni, families, and friends, we raised more than $1.1 million during our 2026 Giving Weekend!

“Every speaker at every graduation insists that his community is special, that the bond between students is really like no other,” said John Germak ’26 in his address to his fellow graduates today. “That’s true at Regis.”
