He is a member of the Technology Student Association, Spanish Club and played football and tennis during high school.

March 13, 2023

The senior high's Technology Student Association (TSA) has been at work since September to compete in this year’s regional competition, where they placed in the top five in 25 different events–including eight 1st place, five 2nd place and six 3rd place finishers. Even more impressively, 27 students were selected to present their work in the state competition next month--an Exeter record! TSA is a voluntary after-school STEM club where students work to create technology-based projects for specific events ranging from everything from biotechnology to fashion, board game design to debating, and robotics to writing extemporaneous essays. The club is overseen by Mr. Zachary Potter and Mr. Terry Lorah and meets weekly. We’re pleased to present a selection of students and their winning work and wish them all of the best in mid April when they travel to western PA to present their projects for the state-level competition!

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, Exeter Township Senior High School will present, "Matilda the Musical," the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. The musical will be performed at 7pm on March 30, March 31 and April 1 with a 2pm matinee on April 2 in the auditorium at the high school, located at 201 East 37th Street in Reiffton. 

The musical stars senior Summer Turczynski as Matilda, a girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers who becomes her school's saving grace. Junior Daniel Pack and sophomore Allison Applegate star as Matilda's cruel parents; senior Regina Ramirez-Sastre plays Matilda's teacher, the lovable Miss Honey; and sophomore Ryan Claudfelter plays Miss Agatha Trunchbull, the school's mean headmistress who hates children and loves punishing schoolchildren. 

Tickets for the performances are $12 and can be pre-purchased online at https://seatyourself.biz/exeterhsmusical.

There will also be a free senior citizens' performance on Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30pm. To obtain tickets for the senior citizens' performance, please contact Caroline McRobbie at clmcrobbie@nullexetersd.org.

The musical is produced by Caroline McRobbie, with direction from Scott Didyoung. Kaleigh Stewart assists with both the production and direction. Jill Haley and Elizabeth Combs are musical directors with Lorraine Selke directing the orchestra. Jon Rugg designed the set and Kristine Schmidt choreographed the actors' performances.

Junior Gaige Gabriel Selected for National Volleyball Team

March 3, 2023

Junior Gaige Gabriel was selected as one of 18 players nationally to make the roster for USA Volleyball for the 2023 NORCECA Continental USA U19 National Team. He'll head to California this weekend to train at USA Volleyball's Anaheim National Team Training Center, where, at the end of next week, he'll find out if he's been selected to make the traveling 12-man roster to represent the United States. If selected, he'll compete with players from around the world as the US team travels to Guatemala City to compete on March 11-19 in the 2023 NORCECA Boys U19 Continental Championship. The NORCECA is a required event prior to the World Championships being held in Argentina in August.

Gabriel, who announced his commitment to play volleyball at Penn State in December, plays for Exeter as well as the Yorktowne Volleyball Club, and was selected for the 2021 and 2022 BCIAA boys' volleyball all-star team as well as the 2022 District III All States. Standing at an impressive 6'8," Gabriel's been playing the sport since seventh grade when he was recruited to play thanks to his height. In a short amount of time, however, he's proven he's more than just a tall kid, rising from a locally-known to national player with more than ten Division I offers to play volleyball after he graduates from Exeter in 2024. Humble about his success, Gaige said he was honored to have been selected: "I was so excited when I found out. Nothing could kill my mood for the next week."

Gabriel is the second player in Exeter history have been chosen for this national honor with the last player, Pieter Olree, being selected in the late 90s. Orlee went on to play volleyball professionally after his graduation from Ohio State.
