• Thank you to the amazing junior volunteers who helped with setting up, handing out programs, and greeting guests at both Convocation and Graduation. Emily Silvester, Lucy Bates, Hillevi Segerson (both events!), Jason Elhilow (both events!), Emily Layton, Finn Hyora, Juliana Ritchie, and Kate Small.

• Super shark shout out to Vietnam veteran, First Lt. Neil Dolan, recipient of two Bronze Stars, who was kind enough to visit my A block American Literature class to discuss his experiences in the war. Students shared several questions with him a few days before, and we asked several more during and at the end of his talk. Mr. Dolan showed us a few of his medals, his dog tags, a few pieces of actual shrapnel, and other items that he saved. It was also nice to have John Dickson and five of his students join us, as well as three of my G block students!! Very powerful and poignant event and a wonderful addition to our study of THE THINGS THEY CARRIED. Photo credit to John Dickson. -Mrs. Lisa Forte-Doyle

Gareth has been a welcome addition to our program this year. He has been an impact player for us as the starting right fielder and giving us solid innings on the mound. His competitiveness has rubbed off on a lot of our players. Gareth leads more by actions than words and has been one of the big reasons why we have had a successful season. In the classroom Gareth holds a 4.2 GPA. - Coach Steve Porter

Isabella is an excellent student athlete. She pushes herself in the classroom with a 4.4 GPA and has an unbelievable work ethic. On the softball field, she puts 100% effort in every practice and game. She is a kind hearted young lady who will be extremely successful in her future because of her constant dedication to hard work. She is well deserving of this award and we are very fortunate to have her as a Shark. :) - Coach Stacy Yarnall
