25 Famous New Yorkers You Didn’t Know Graduated From Harvard University

Harvard University sits in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hundreds of miles from the streets of New York City and the towns and villages of New York State. Yet there is a remarkable New York story within its alumni history. Students who grew up in Brooklyn apartments, on Long Island, in the Bronx, beside the Hudson River, and in Upstate cities traveled to Harvard and later became presidents, scientists, writers, actors, judges, and business leaders. Some are so strongly identified with New York that their college years in Massachusetts are easy to overlook.

No Lunch Period, No Problem: Exploring How Jericho High School Supports Students Who Opt Out of Lunch Periods

At Jericho High School, the grind never stops, and neither do the students. Many students here at Jericho High School opt out of a lunch or free period.

Powerhouse LA high school football coach mired in controversy fires back at peeved parents: ‘I will not apologize’

The California high school football coach mired in controversy over potential recruiting violations said bluntly this week he has no intentions of apologizing for the way he’s running his program. Just after Westlake head coach Rick Clausen was called out by several of his own players’ parents in a scathing letter to the school, the 44-year-old told the California Post on Thursday he’s not fretting about the complaints one bit. Westlake head coach Rick Clausen instructs the offense during football practice at Westlake High School, Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect “It’s comical, to be honest with you,” Clausen said. “But with what goes on in today’s society, nothing shocks me in any way, shape or form.” Clausen took over a floundering Westlake program in 2025 and immediately turned the team around, going 10-1 in his first year and 7-3 so far in Year Two. The team was 0-10 in 2024. California school district bosses face probe over $70K credit card binge on wine and treats just days before $205M bond vote However, last week, a group of parents sent a memo to Westlake High School stating they’ve enlisted the help of a private investigation company

Iglesias has memorable night as Somers gets to Class A football final

LINCOLNDALE – Tristan Iglesias is going to remember this game. The senior quarterback had a hand in seven touchdowns in the last football game he’ll play on Tony DeMatteo Field, leading Somers to a 46-21 win over Harrison on Friday in a Section 1 Class A semifinal. The Tuskers move on to the championship game for the sixth year in a row and will play Clarkstown South at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13 at North Rockland High School. Iglesias ran for four touchdowns and threw for three scores. “Tristan has been unbelievable,” Somers coach Anthony DeMatteo said. “The way he extends plays when the call we make isn’t there makes all the difference. He’s so accurate on the run, so accurate in the pocket and he’s hard to bring down. Tristan is such a resilient kid and a really good leader.” The Tuskers had a string of four Section 1 championships snapped last season when they lost to Rye in the final. It would’ve been an upset had Somers won, but that knowledge didn’t lessen the sting. “No, they were a great team and they played amazing, but that loss still burns,” Iglesias said. “It’s amazing to have a

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
