On Wednesday, October 9th, Taunton High School hosted students and staff from the B+S Bispo D. Manuel Ferreira Cabral School, in Madeira. These students were winners of the Atlântico Júnior 2023/2024 Award. The five students, supervised by Professor Ângela Morais, developed a project for the creation of sustainable biofilters, using banana residues and microalgae exopolymers, which aim to retain microplastics. We were so happy to meet with the students and share our school with them.

In effort to encourage positive student behavior throughout the school building, I have encouraged our Associate Principals to place students with any significant conduct violations on social probation. Students may be placed on Social Probation for infractions dealing with tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, fighting, vandalism, or for other violations of the Student Handbook. While on “Social Probation” a student will not be allowed to attend, or participate in, any high school sponsored or high school related events, including athletics. Students who participate in athletics may be permitted to practice but will not be allowed to play in games or to attend/participate in any other school-related extracurricular or athletic activities. Students on social probation will be provided a letter, which includes the length of the social probation.
