Teen Vision Board

Tuesday, January 21st at 6:00pm

January is a great time to start to visualize and manifest your goals, dreams, and aspirations. Using a variety of materials like magazines, markers, and other craft supplies, teens will create personalized vision boards that reflect their dreams—whether it’s academic success, personal growth, future careers, or life experiences. Register for you and a friend today!

Stay informed with the latest updates, resources, and important announcements from Student Services. Check it out today!

Seniors should be meeting with their mentor weekly in order to continue to make progress on their project. At this point they should have completed their work from the December portion of their timeline and be moving forward with their January tasks. For many, this will include research and finalizing a plan for the application of knowledge. The next due dates are February 4th for student reflection of progress so far (shared electronically with the panel) and February 6th after school for a panel meeting. This is their second panel meeting, and whether or not a student passes the meeting is guided by whether or not they met the timeline benchmarks they set for themselves. Please reach out to your child's senior project mentor with any questions, and remember, you can view your child’s Senior Project status in PowerSchool.

Attention Parents! Don't miss the chance to celebrate your senior! Yearbook ad submissions are due in just 1 month. Show your pride and love with a special message. Submit now!

Meet the wonderful and talented staff members of SHS!

What is your role at Souhegan?

I teach in the English Department at Souhegan. I'm teaching both American and World Studies this year.

How long have you been with Souhegan?

This is my first year as a part of the faculty at Souhegan, but my second year here overall. I completed a year-long internship here as a part of my graduate program with UNH during the 2018-2019 school year. I'm really excited to be back!

What do you love about your job?

I love being in an English classroom every day and working with people who value education as much as I do. This means that I get to read and discuss books with students, work closely with students on their writing, and watch them grow. Some of my favorite moments are when students surprise themselves with what they’re capable of accomplishing. Overall, I get to be a part of my students' stories and hope that, in some way, they take away something valuable from their experiences in my classroom. I also love working with my colleagues whose passion, kindness, and resilience inspire me daily.

What do you like to do outside of work?

Outside of work, I love to read, listen to audiobooks while I walk, spend time with my family (my husband and two cats), cook new recipes, and discover new, local gems. One of my favorite day trips this summer was to the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA.

If you were given one wish what would it be?

I would wish that the Library of Alexandria had never burned down.

Do you have a favorite quote or mantra?

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou
