MWHS Business Law students recently visited the Orange County Courthouse in Goshen, where they gained firsthand insight into the daily work of the judicial system. Students observed trials and hearings and participated in an extensive question-and-answer session with Hon. Craig Stephen Brown and Hon. Hyun Chin Kim of the Orange County Supreme and County Court system.

The Business Law elective at MWHS explores how business law impacts individuals in their personal, family, and professional lives. Students develop a practical understanding of and respect for the laws that affect them at home and in the workplace. Topics of study include basic legal principles, civil and criminal law, contracts, consumer protection, insurance, wills and estates, and real and personal property.

Crusaders Elaina Wood and Kyra Gilligan represented Monroe-Woodbury at the 2nd Annual Student-Athlete Leadership Summit at Mount Saint Mary College. They joined student-athletes from over 40 schools across Sections IX and I for a day focused on developing leadership in athletics and beyond.

Throughout the summit, they participated in four sessions: strengthening their inner game with a mindset performance coach; exploring the role of student-athletes as global leaders; engaging in student-athlete leadership and decision-making; and learning how to become “athleaders”—leading with purpose both on and off the field.

We are proud of their commitment to growth and leadership, and we look forward to the positive impact they will bring back to our teams and school community.💜💪
