Castle Chronicles

Superintendent Dr. Joseph P. Maruszczak is pleased to announce that two SMHS seniors were awarded the National School Development Council (NESDEC) Award for Academic Growth and Student Leadership in Learning.

The award is presented to high school seniors who have consistently pursued a high level of academic effort and have served as positive role models for the student body.

Congratulations Jorge and Sullivan!

Last week SMHS Peer Leaders spent the day at town hall learning team building and training techniques through the ADL's World of Difference program. Their efforts to make SMHS a more inclusive community are appreciated and valued.

Congratulations to all the South Shore League All-Stars selected this fall. It was a very successful season and we can't wait to see what the winter brings in Blue Knight Athletics!

On Sunday, November 26, members of SMHS's Rho Kappa had the privilege of helping to preserve one of the oldest burial grounds in our country located right here Sandwich: The Old Town Cemetery.

The cemetery predates the American Revolution, being established in 1663!

Rho Kappa scholars worked tediously to preserve headstones by removing the lichen.

Thank you to Ms. Diana Evans, our Rho Kappa advisor, and SMHS students: Jack Mulcahy, Caroline O'Neil, Dylan McCabe, Charlotte Grant, Hope Curley, and Ahmar Arshad as well as Jennifer Madden from the Sandwich Historical Commission and Mike Geiler from Sandwich's DPW.

The SMHS PTSA is looking for high school student volunteers for SUNDAY 12/3/23 from 7:00 AM-10:00 AM to help vendors for the Last Best Craft Fair move their crafts to their booth space in the cafeteria area.

Craft Fair proceeds go to SMHS curriculum enrichment grants for field trips, etc.

We are proud of our students for their service to our community and for organizing this food drive.

Your generosity is appreciated!
