Seeking Student & Parent Participation to Interview Assistant Principal Candidates
We are seeking community participation in the hiring process. Dr. Rodrigues presented this timeline at the School Committee meeting yesterday evening.
Student and Parent participants must be available, at minimum, during the day on Tuesday, March 16 to interview candidates and select candidates to move forward to the next round.
The afternoon and evening of March 23 would be a second opportunity for participants to engage with the candidates along with other members of the high school community.
If you are interested in participating, you can fill out this short interest form by Thursday, March 4 at 3:00 PM. If there is more interest than available spaces on the committee, participants will be selected at random.

The deadline for students to submit course requests is Friday, March 5th at midnight. Counselors will be available that week both in person and virtually to meet with students individually.

Virtual SAT Prep Course
A virtual SAT Prep course will be offered to all juniors this spring. The prep course will prepare students for the SAT test that juniors will take this spring. The SAT test scores are an important piece to the college admission program. Classes will be held on Wednesday afternoons starting March 10th and run for eight Wednesdays until May 5th from 3:00-6:00pm. We do not hold class over April vacation week. The practice tests can be taken in person at school since the SAT exam is still an in person paper/pencil test or we can give it to students to take at home.
