NJIC Coach of the Year: Thomas Corizzi

Few teams in the conference had the year-over-year turnaround of the Knights. After going 2-14-1 last year, Corizzi, who’s been at the helm since 2020, guided New Milford to an 11-10-1 record and a divisional title, finishing atop the new NJIC American division. The Knights also made the finals of the BIT Silver tournament, but more importantly, won their first state tournament game since 2013 with a 3-1 win over Wallkill Valley.

 

Nathaniel Gammel honored as an NJCTA Youth Leadership Winner

The New Jersey Chinese Teachers Association (NJCTA) Youth Leadership Award Honors high school and college students demonstrating leadership, community service, and dedication in Chinese language and cultural studies. We would like to congratulate Nathaniel Gammel, a Junior at NMHS, for being honored with the NJCTA Youth Leadership Award this past December. Nathaniel is not a native Mandarin speaker; however, after taking an interest in 6th grade and with teacher and parent support is now taking the highest levels of Mandarin at the High School. Mandarin is a complicated language to learn, which speaks volumes to Nathaniel’s diligence and passion for the Chinese culture, which he is now taking a leadership role to support. The District is very proud of Nathaniel. 

 

Jake Johnson named 1st Team All-County

Jake Johnson, a standout high school athlete from New Milford, was selected 1st team All-Bergen County in football for the 2025 football season. Jake played multiple positions on both defense and offense and was a leader on his team. Jake was also awarded the Star-Ledger's Player of the Week in September 2025 after a strong performance in the season opener. He has been recognized as a top player in North Jersey and the state and will continue his football career, competing at the Division I level, at Marist University.

 

Intergenerational Service at New Milford Senior Center

We love seeing our students give back! The New Milford Community Service Club recently teamed up with the New Milford Senior Center for two fantastic "Intergenerational Technology Days". Supervised by Mr. Chris Addeo, NMHS students put their skills to use as "tech troubleshooters," answering any questions and helping local seniors master their smartphones and laptops. Our students were absolute pros, and the event was such a hit that we’re already planning future sessions—including a special presentation on AI!

We also want to highlight our Choral Ensemble and Ms. Kimberlee Korzelius (pictured below), who brought beautiful music to the Senior Center with a special performance this past December. They performed excerpts from the winter concert and brought over some Christmas cookies made by students in Mrs. Bruno's culinary classes. 

 

 

 

National Honor Society (NHS) student 'Giving Tree' initiative

National Honor Society (NHS) President Emma Grady proposed a “Holiday Wishing Tree” initiative to support students who may have limited gifts to open during the holiday season. Through this initiative, NHS members, or individuals they knew, had the opportunity to purchase one or two gifts for anonymous students in need. The NHS officers held a meeting where members could sign up to sponsor a student. The only information provided was the student’s age, gender, and a $25 spending limit to ensure anonymity and fairness. Gifts were received and delivered to Berkley. This initiative was a great success and truly reflected the spirit of service within the National Honor Society chapter. We would love to continue this tradition in future years. 

 

Breakfast with Santa and his Elves

On December 6, New Milford High School hosted its annual Holiday Breakfast, bringing the community together for a morning of festive fun. Held in the NMHS cafeteria, the event featured an all-you-can-eat spread of pancakes, eggs, sausage, and coffee for parents, while children enjoyed face painting, holiday crafts, and a special visit from Santa. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the students and staff who volunteered their time to ensure the event's success. Ms. Patty Bernardo, who has orchestrated the breakfast for the past 15 years, noted that this year’s "student elves" were among the best she has ever worked with. Their singing and genuine enthusiasm, how they worked with the children, along with appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus—created an atmosphere of joy that truly defined the spirit of the season. (Pictured: Santa and some of his elves)
