Hannah Senesh graduates are a varied group, and over the years they have brought their passions and sensibilities to many excellent high schools, colleges, and universities across the United States. Hannah Senesh graduates meet the world with a sense of purpose; nurtured by our intimate, supportive environment and bolstered by the inspiring story of our namesake, they are prepared to meet any challenge. Hannah Senesh graduates leave our school knowing they will always be a part of the community, and many of them keep in close touch with former classmates and teachers, coming back to school for visits and special events. At Hannah Senesh we are a large extended family, and our graduates hold that fact dear, even years after graduation.
Hannah Senesh graduates have strong Jewish and American identities, developed over the years through study, experience, and introspection. Our graduates are independent thinkers and involved learners, eager to “be the change” they wish to see in the world. We are proud of our graduates and all they are accomplishing, and on the facing page we list the high schools, colleges, and universities to which they have been accepted. But this is merely a list; it doesn’t show the years of hard work our students put in to earn acceptances to these schools, and it doesn’t show the tremendous support students show each other as they navigate the high school application process. Yes, we are proud of our graduates for their academic achievements, but we are even prouder to see the remarkable, compassionate, and committed young adults they have become, interested contributors to the world around them. Keep your eyes and ears opened… you can expect to see and hear great things from Hannah Senesh graduates!

When Marisa Miller graduated Hannah Senesh in 2010, she had no idea she would return as a faculty member in the fall of 2019. Throughout her time in Leon Goldstein High School of Math and Sciences, she spent time babysitting, working in summer camps, and engaged with children, but wasn’t sure she wanted to work with children long term. Marisa felt a lot of pressure surrounding her career and was looking to find her own path. Read More.
Rafi Klein-Cloud graduated from Senesh in 2003 with a strong interest in science. He describes his passion for healthcare as more than just the study of medicine, but also because of the chance to develop a mutual trust with patients. When Rafi decided to go into pediatric surgery, he said it was about the opportunity “to build a relationship with an entire family, not just the one patient.” Read More.
Sarah Koosis graduated from Hannah Senesh 10 years ago with the class of 2011. She went to Bard High School Early College in Manhattan and Tufts University in Boston for college, and majored in international relations and in environmental studies to figure out her next steps.
