Dear Shepherd Hill Learning Community:

During April vacation, I had the privilege of traveling with 61 students and 9 chaperones to

Switzerland and Italy. While the sights were, of course, impressive, I was also incredibly

impressed with and proud of our entire Shepherd Hill contingent! Our students were

excellent ambassadors, and our faculty chaperones worked earnestly to ensure that

students were safe, comfortable, and engaged in learning about their surroundings. I want

to extend my appreciation to Global Studies Director Mrs. Pierangeli, whose vision and

dedication have allowed thousands of Shepherd Hill students to see more of the world for

nearly forty years! More information regarding our trip to Italy and Switzerland can be

found in this newsletter, as well as information regarding next year’s trip to England and

France.

On Friday, April 26, a senior class assembly was held. During the assembly, I referenced

pride, unity, and excellence – three words that are an integral part of the Shepherd Hill

experience. As we anxiously await upcoming events, from prom to senior banquet and

graduation, I implored the Class of 2024 to remain fully committed to Shepherd Hill pride,

unity, and excellence through graduation on June 2nd . We want our seniors to make us all

proud during this celebratory time by making responsible social decisions, and we want

our seniors to embrace the unity of class-sponsored events. We also want our seniors to

strive for excellence by finishing strong academically. The faculty and staff are committed

to helping the Class of 2024 achieve a safe and memorable conclusion to their high school

career!

Regarding spring assessment season, as a follow-up to previous correspondences, please

be advised of the remaining, mandatory assessments:

May 6-17: Advanced Placement Testing

May 21, 22: Grade 10 Math MCAS

June 4, 5: High School Biology and Physics MCAS

In the midst of assessment season, in recognition of noteworthy student achievement, both

the National Honor and Spanish National Honor Societies held induction ceremonies,

welcoming 36 and 9 students, respectively. It should be noted that the Spanish National

Honor Society is newly-formed at The Hill, this year!

Recently, our Shepherd Hill Drama Club entertained audiences with Clue: High School

Edition, and we hosted the district-wide “Art Through the Ages” exhibition. Still, there is so

much to look forward to in the coming weeks, including a production of Mama Mia! on May

10 and May 11, and spring sports, as our student-athletes work to position themselves for

spring season titles. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at these

remaining events!

Finally, thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work to ensure that

all students, and most especially our seniors, can safely partake of the rites of passage that

make the high school experience so enjoyable!

Sincerely,

Mr. Elwell

The school hours for Shepherd Hill Regional High School are 7:40am-2:10pm. Students entering the building after 7:40am must check into the main office to receive a pass to proceed to class.

Please note the following:

To obtain an early dismissal, bring a written request from your parent or caregiver to the principal’s office as soon as you arrive at school. The request will be reviewed and an early dismissal slip will be issued if warranted. CHECK-OUT WITH THE OFFICE WHEN YOU LEAVE AND CHECK-IN WHEN YOU RETURN. Students must be in school prior to or after 11:00 a.m. for the day to count for participation in school activities.

It is very important to follow this procedure whenever possible. Phone calls to classrooms for dismissals are very disruptive to the educational process. Advance notice of the dismissal with a note helps alleviate those disruptions. We appreciate your assistance!

Thank you! Mrs. Champagne cchampagne2@dcrsd.org and Mrs. Jalbert rjalbert@dcrsd.org

A student should stay at home:

• If they have a fever of 100 degrees F or greater (Must be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school)

• If vomiting and or diarrhea has occurred in the last 24 hours

The Shepherd Hill Attendance Guideline designates six (6) unexcused class absences per subject, per semester (each 1/2 year) as the maximum allowed for normal circumstances of regular school attendance. The allowed number of days for absence is designed to accommodate:

· Personal illness

· Religious holidays

· Serious personal or family problems

· Professional appointments that could not be scheduled outside the regular school day

A reminder to parents and caregivers: Students should not be using their cell phone to contact parents if they are not feeling well. Our Health Center is staffed with full time nurses who will meet with and assess students who are not feeling well. The Nursing Office will reach out to parents/caregivers if students who are ill and need to be dismissed.

Thank you! Nurse Hannah Lombardo hlombardo@dcrsd.org

Our community and school take pride in the appearance that our students present. We expect that all students will dress and groom themselves neatly in clothes that are suitable for school activities. Students that dress in an inappropriate manner will be required to change into proper attire; the second offense will result in a detention and parent will be notified.

On April 11th, seventy-one students and chaperones extended learning into the world-

wide classroom. They began their twelve-day adventure by boarding a bus bound for

Logan Airport and a flight to Philadelphia, followed by an overnight flight to Zurich.

They arrived in Switzerland’s largest city and a global banking and financial center.

After clearing customs, they met the tour directors and took a walking tour through the

picturesque lanes of the Altstadt (Old Town) that highlight the pre-medieval history of

the town. After sampling Swiss cuisine at lunch, the group traveled to Lucerne, one of

Switzerland’s most picturesque cities where the majestic Swiss Alps rise behind the

shores of Lake Lucerne creating spectacular scenery.

Saturday morning’s tour of Lucerne began at the touching Löwendenkmal (Lion

Monument), a sandstone statue commemorating the Swiss Guards slain in the 1792 Paris

storming of the Tulleries. From here, the group strolled across the Kapellbrücke, a

covered bridge whose history dates back to medieval days and through the cobbled

streets of the Old Town. In the afternoon, everyone took a gondola to the top of Mount

Pilatus in the Alps for a stunning view across Switzerland and the Alpine region.

Although there was snow at the top of the mountain, the group was lucky to enjoy warm

weather and clear skies. In the evening, the group enjoyed a Swiss Folklore Evening

with cheese fondue and lively Alpine entertainment, including authentic flag swinging,

alpenhorn playing, and yodeling.

The next morning, the group boarded their two buses to transfer to Italy. En route, they

stopped at Lake Como where they enjoyed a cruise on the best known of Italy’s lakes. At

1,350 feet, it is the deepest lake in Europe. Surrounded by the Swiss Alps to the north

and the Italian Alps to the east and west, the lake stretches for 30 miles and splits into

three parts at Bellagio the centro di lago, or center of the lake. The group enjoyed lunch

and some shopping in the town of Bellagio. In the evening they arrived in the Venice

area for a two-night stay.

On Monday, the group transferred by bus and then a water taxi to Venice, Italy’s floating

city, considered by many to be the most beautiful city in the world. The city is built on an

archipelago of 118 small islands in a shallow lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads

or cars, just canals and over 400 bridges that link some islands. Transportation is by boat

or on foot. The first stop was the island of Murano and a demonstration of how the multi-

colored Murano glass is made. Second stop was the island of Burano known for its

brightly colored fishermen’s houses and its exquisite lace-making. After lunch, it was off

to the main island of Venice and a guided sightseeing of the highlights to include the

Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square). The city’s main meeting point for people, along

with the ever-present pigeons. Napoleon called it the “finest drawing room of Europe.”

Also, in the square is St. Mark’s Basilica, the pink and white Doge’s Palace where the

doge or elected ruler of Venice lived, and the 324-foot Campanile (Bell Tower), whose

steps were originally built so that a noble could ascend on horseback, and the clock where

two bronze figures have been striking the hour for over 500 years. The visit to Venice

concluded with a leisurely cruise of the Grand Canal, the world’s most unusual Main

Street, on a gondola.

On Tuesday, the group said ciao to Venice and transferred to the heart of Tuscany. First

stop was Pisa with its 12 th century six-story white marble Leaning Tower of Pisa, along

with the adjacent marble cathedral, and the neighboring baptistery. From here it was off

to Lucca, one of Tuscany’s most charming towns that is known for the well-preserved

Renaissance walls encircling the historic city center and its cobblestone streets.

The next morning, the group visited Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance and

home to the powerful Medici family. The city was the center of medieval European trade

and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time. Highlights of the guided tour

included Giotto’s Bell Tower, the Pizza del Duomo with its imposing marble cathedral,

and the Piazza della Signoria where Michelangelo’s David originally stood. Also

impressive was the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest and most famous bridge across the

Arno.River. Although the Nazis had orders to blow up all the bridges before retreating

out of Florence as the Allied forces advanced, they could not bring themselves to reduce

this span to rubble. Today it is home to many shops. The visit to Florence would not be

complete without a visit to a leather factory where many purchased souvenirs and gifts to

bring home.

On Thursday, the group traveled south with a first stop in Santa Maria degli Angelli (St.

Mary of the Angels), followed by lunch and pasta-making demonstration. In the

afternoon, the group stopped in Assisi, a quiet hillside town with outstanding examples of

early Renaissance art, to visit the Basillica of San Francis. The darker, crypt-like Lower

Basilica holds the tomb of St. Francis - - - one of Italy’s most beloved saints. The Upper

Basilica is more spacious with bright frescos. The group arrived in Rome, the capital of

Italy, in the evening. Often referred to as the Eternal City, it is an incredible mix of

archeological gems, Roman genius, Renaissance art and religious treasures.

Friday began in Vatican City, the world’s smallest country. The group viewed one

artistic masterpiece after another in the Vatican Museum concluding with the Sistine

Chapel. Between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo painted some of the world’s finest

pictorial images on the Chapel’s ceiling. From here, the group entered St. Peter’s

Basilica, the world’s largest dome built on the site where the saint was martyred.

Michelangelo’s Pietà was especially impressive with the incredibly lifelike folds of

Mary’s robes and her youthful features. Next stop was the Coliseum where as many as

50,000 cheering spectators would flock to watch gladiator battles unfold inside. Then,

the group strolled through the grassy ruins of the ancient Forum Romanum, once the

heart of the Roman Empire, to admire the enduring fragments of Rome’s glorious past.

After dinner, the group continued to explore Rome with a walking tour to Piazza Navona,

the Pantheon, and the azalea-lined Spanish Steps. The highlight was the Trevi Fountain

where many tossed a coin to ensure a return trip to the Eternal City.

On Saturday, the group continued traveling south where they learned how wealthy

Romans lived 2,000 years ago on an excursion to Pompeii, one of the richest

archaeological sites in the world. When neighboring Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D.

79, volcanic ash completely buried the Roman resort. In Roman times, Pompeii was an

important industrial and commercial town, with a complex layered society, that is

reflected in the urban structures on view. Today, you can see the ruins of elegant villas,

more modest housing, ancient temples and public baths. The day concluded in Sorrento

with magnificent views of the Bay of Naples.

Sunday, the group ferried across the Bay of Naples to reach the captivating Isle of Capri.

A cruise around the island provided some of the most spectacular views of the coast

including the Arco Naturale, a majestic stone arch on the eastern cliffs and the famous

Faraglioni, three enormous, limestone colossi that loom out of the sea. A funicular

brought the group up the mountainous island to the town of Capri. After a few hours

exploring the island, another boat transported the group to Naples, Italy’s third-largest

city. From here, it was back to Rome.

Early the next morning the group boarded a flight to Frankfurt and then Logan Airport.

A mechanical problem delayed our flight to Logan with the group arriving back at

Shepherd Hill at about 10:00 p.m. During the twelve days, students saw sights pictured

in their textbooks, walked in the footsteps of Roman emperors, and sampled foreign

cuisine. They learned to use two different currencies with ease - - - the Euro and the

Swiss franc - - - and developed a deeper understanding of the connection between people

and countries of the world. All returned home with lifelong memories and a desire to

continue to explore the world around them. Some have already enrolled on next year’s

trip to France and England.

I am happy to report that I received many compliments about the behavior, punctuality,

and enthusiasm of our group. All of the participating students should be commended on

their responsible, mature behavior and attitudes. Parents and community members should

be proud of these fine young adults.

The Global Awareness Program will be traveling to France and England during the April, 2025 school vacation. Highlights will include Paris, Versailles, the chateaux in the Loire Valley, Mont-St.-Michel, the D-Day Beaches in Normandy, the Tower of London, the London Eye, and a London theater production. Shepherd Hill students in grades 9-12 next year with a record of good school citizenship and conduct are eligible to participate. Students may pick up an information request form in the main office or parents may email Mrs. Pierangeli ( mpierangeli@dcrsd.org ) for detailed information. There will be a

$200 discount for enrollment in May. A limited number of openings remain on a first- come, first-served basis. Don’t procrastinate! Join the group on next year’s adventure!

The National Honor Society held their annual Spring induction for new members on Thursday, March 21. The induction was presided by current NHS Officers and seniors: Harry Kennan, Kelsy Brown, Cora Dubey, Daniel Lincoln, Nicholas Dell'Ovo and Jacob Fredette. Officers spoke on the four pillars of the National Honor Society and then new members were invited up to light a candle and recite the NHS pledge. We inducted 36 new sophomores and juniors into the society. After the induction, there was a small reception in the Shepherd Hill cafeteria featuring cupcakes made by former NHS student and SHRHS alum, Joseph Dumas ('22).

Congratulations to these outstanding students!

On Friday April 5, 2024, two Shepherd Hill students participated in Student Government Day at the Massachusetts State House in Boston, MA. Juniors, Donovan Ennis and Timothy Krysinksi participated in the event. State Senator Ryan Fattman offered breakfast and a mini tour of his office, the Senate chamber and onto a balcony overlooking Boston Common.

After taking in the various monuments and portraits displayed around the historic building, they entered the House Chamber and assumed the roles of their state representatives.

Two bills were on the docket for the day; Bill H.1261- An Act improving access to affordable higher education and Bill S.311- An Act relative to educator diversity. After introductions from the Acting Education Commissioner, Russell Johnston, the Associate Justice Rachel E. Hershfang and other dignitaries, student representatives were able to begin debate over the two bills. After hearing many testimonies, each bill was voted on.

Both Donovan and Timothy represented Shepherd Hill Regional High School well and experienced the legislative process that takes place daily on Beacon Hill.

Any student interested in internship opportunities with Senator Ryan Fattman should contact Amanda Galonek Hellyar (amanda.hellyar@masenate.gov) for the summer of 2024.

Another opportunity for students interested in politics/ history is the Summer Volunteer Tour Guide Program at the Massachusetts State House, sponsored by William F. Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth. Anyone interested can request an application from Mary Rinehart (mary.rinehart@sec.state.ma.us )

The Spring 2024 Supplement will be a slideshow that can be accessed via QR code in the Yearbook. Please send me lots of pictures of all of the exciting things you are doing from March-June! The Yearbook Website has a variety of ways to submit photos so please take advantage! Thank you! Ms. Sullivan

Our Intro to Criminal Justice Class taught by our very own Officer Megas and Mrs. Prosco

Hello, DCRSD community! Tim Cormier, Shepherd Hill English teacher and soccer coach, chiming in here to share that I have once again decided to turn my love of cycling into an opportunity to raise money for a really great cause. I’m taking on the Pan Mass Challenge; and this year I’m riding for Team AJ.

Team AJ was formed this year to support AJ Congdon, the young son of our Shepherd Hill colleague and friend, Jamie Congdon. As many of you already know, the Congdons are an incredible, loving, and joyful family who are standing strong in the face of a troubling cancer diagnosis. With strength and determination, the family has adjusted to this challenge, and so many of us are ready to stand strong with them.

The PMC has raised nearly a billion dollars since 1980 and what is phenomenal about this huge event is that 100% of the donations goes directly to Dana-Farber. I am committed to reaching my goal of raising at least $6,073. Please consider donating to this most excellent charitable event.

You can support Team AJ and donate online by visiting my PMC web page, profile.pmc.org/TC0406.

We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Jane Switchenko is our new Guidance Secretary! Please reach out to her directly for any guidance questions jswitchenko@dcrsd.org.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that all schools receiving federal funds must provide the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruiters and institutions of higher education. The act also requires that military recruiters be given the same access to students that is given to recruiters for post secondary institutions and employers. If a parent objects to releasing this information he/she should notify the guidance office.

Be sure to check out the guidance newsletter for information on SBIRT Screening, and upcoming course selections/requests.
