ACHIEVEMENTS

Athletics

Bronx Science has 43 sports teams, 37 varsity and 6 junior varsity. This school year was a great one for our athletic program, in which 25% of the student body participated in at least one team. Three Bronx Science Teams won the City Championship this year—Girls Fencing, Girls Indoor Track and Girls Outdoor Track! Emmy Sale ’25, who competed in a 4x400m relay critical to one of those victories, reflected that the final meet was a favorite “not just because we won, but because it was one of my first moments realizing how important each member is to the team, and how important it was for everyone to work hard.”

Performing Arts

MUSIC: Over 130 Bronx Science students participate in a total of four music ensembles: jazz band, concert band, chorus, and orchestra. All groups performed wonderfully at the 2022 Winter Concert and 2023 Spring Concert. The concerts feature pieces from a variety of genres, from madrigals to Disney to Charlie Parker and Shostakovich.

The chorus and jazz band also performed for our alumni at the Bronx Science 85th Anniversary playing a medley of Bronx Science related songs such as the Star Wars theme for Hall of Famer Jon Favreau ‘84, songs from Hall of Famer Bobby Darin ‘53 and even an Elvis song which was written by Warren Nadel ‘47, an accomplished dentist who wrote more than a dozen songs for Elvis under his pseudonym Randy Starr.

THEATER: This year, the school’s theater company - the Atomic Theatre Company - presented She Kills Monsters, a play about a teenage girl who discovers more about her recently passed sister through Dungeons and Dragons campaign. In the spring, students performed the Tony award winning musical Rent. The student-led club S!NG also premiered their original production Backfire, the culmination of an almost year-long effort that began with months of script—and songwriting by students.
