Alumni Return to Glen Cove High School to Inspire Future Artists

This week, Glen Cove High School welcomed back two recent alumni whose journeys are already coming full circle. Phoebe George and Natalia Monsale, Class of 2024, returned to campus to share their experiences with our current students, in Mrs. Palazzo's class, and to remind them that the paths they are imagining are within reach.

Speaking to students in Mrs. Palazzo’s class, Phoebe and Natalia provided a firsthand look at life after high school. Through engaging slideshow presentations, they showcased their artistic growth and the portfolios they’ve built since leaving Glen Cove.

Natalia Monsale is currently a second-year student pursuing her passion for Fashion Design.

Phoebe George is currently at the Hartford Art School, where she is double majoring in Illustration and Animation.

These visits highlight the power of our alumni network. For current students, seeing Phoebe and Natalia’s success serves as a powerful reminder that their own goals, whether in the arts or elsewhere, are well within reach. As we move further into the school year, moments like these reinforce a core belief at Glen Cove: the learning that happens within these walls doesn't end at graduation. Instead, it serves as the foundation for a lifetime of exploration, creativity, and professional opportunity.
