A Message from the Principal
As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our incredible school community. This week, we reflect on our achievements and the spirit of togetherness that defines us at Souhegan. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday filled with warmth, joy, and cherished moments with loved ones.

Community-Wide Announcements & Reminders
Progress Reports are now available to students and families via PowerSchool.
To view a student progress report from the PowerSchool portal, click on the “Student Reports” option in your navigation menu. “SHS MS1 Progress Report” will be listed in the Current Published Reports section.
Course scores for year-long and semester one courses are in-progress scores that represent a student’s current learning to date and are not a final grade. These scores will evolve over the course of the year, as students have more opportunities to show higher levels of mastery and the final course score will be included on the report card in June as well as on official transcripts. As a result, end of year scores will represent the culmination of a student’s work.
For seniors only:
- MS1 grades are included on senior transcripts; GPA is not recalculated at MS1.
- GPA is calculated at the end of Semester 1 and again at the end of the year.

What is your role at Souhegan?
I am the band teacher. I also teach the Arts Experience Music classes, Combos, and Music Production and Engineering.
How long have you been with Souhegan?
This is my first year at Souhegan.
What do you love about your job?
I get to make music with the best high school students! Directing band is already fun, and the students and staff at Souhegan make this an amazing place to do it! I also love everything that comes with being the band teacher- Jazz Band, Pep Band, fieldtrips, festivals, performances and the journey students take to get to them.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work I like to spend time with my family, take road trips, and be outside. We like to play games, go camping, and spend time at the lake.
If you were given one wish what would it be?
I wish that my children always find happiness in life.
