New First Day for Students
Welcome
We want to extend a warm welcome to you as you begin or continue your high school journey. While we hope that this summer vacation has been relaxing and fun for you, the first day of school is just a few weeks away. The first day for students is Wednesday, September 1st at 7:15 a.m. Please report directly to the Fine Arts Center on the first day of school. This summer vacation has been a much-needed rest for all of us, but we are excited to begin a new school year.
This summer also saw the addition of some new staff and some shifting of roles. Please join us in welcoming Mary Holmes (World Language), Michelle Hipple (Special Education), Ana Curren (Special Education), and Elaine Stone (Main Office). While you probably have already heard, for those who haven’t, I will be taking on the role of Principal, and Beth Johnson will be joining us from middle school to be our Assistant Principal.

Freshmen Orientation and Fall Athletic Meeting
On Thursday, August 19th, 2021, we invite all incoming freshmen, new students to Leicester High School, and new students to the building to the high school for an orientation from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We also invite their parents/guardians to join us for an informational session. Neither is mandatory but hope you will join us so we can answer your questions and help make your transition to high school as smooth as possible. High school leadership students will be here to show the freshmen around and explain things in “teenage” language. The athletic director, assistant principal, and I will also be on hand to speak with you. Orientation will be followed by the fall athletic meeting for all interested athletes and their parents at 6:00 p.m. in the high school Fine Arts Center.
Your schedules are available through PowerSchool, but we will also have paper copies available on the 19th. The Guidance Department has worked diligently to get you into most or all of the classes that you both need and want. If you have questions or concerns about your schedule, please give the school a call at 508-892-7031 to set up an appointment with Mr. Barry (A-K) or Mr. Bowes (L-Z). They will be available from August 19-23rd, 2021 to meet with you.
