Today, Gerstell Academy welcomed back Anthony Carpenter ’19 to the Deborah Paterakis Gymnasium, where he once made history as a standout basketball player. Known for his record-breaking shooting accuracy, over 1,000 career points, and two MIAA Conference Championship titles, Anthony returned not as a player—but as a collegiate coach.
Three of Gerstell Academy’s Girls Varsity Basketball standouts have earned national recognition for their excellence on and off the court. Kiara Hardy, Abby Redman, and Shyla Borek were named Second Team Academic All-Americans by the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA), recognizing their exceptional leadership, academic excellence, and outstanding athletic achievements. Their accomplishments reflect the core values of Gerstell’s leadership-based athletic program.
