Second semester is underway and teachers will be finalizing grades over the next few days. Final semester reports will be available in x2 in the coming weeks. Instructions will be sent on how to access these once they are ready.

 

It was great to see many families at last Thursday’s "Get College Ready Night." Note that we have formed a partnership with the College Guidance Network. This resource provides a roadmap and a variety of support for our families as you help your student through the College and Career planning/application process. This program happens in conjunction with the support provided by our guidance counselors and college and career center. Ultimately, the College Guidance Network functions like a college/career coach for families. To take advantage of this resource, please click here for details on how to register. You can also learn more about it on the College and Career Center portion of the high school's website.

Recently, the members of the Newburyport Lions Club came to support the induction of 19 of our students into the Leos Club. As a member of the Leo's club, students develop leadership skills and learn to seize opportunities around service through their partnership with the Lion's Club of Newburyport. As described by Lions International, "Together, Leos and Lions form a powerful partnership — one of mutual respect where Lions learn from the innovative insights of Leos, and where Leos gain access to the proven strategies of those who’ve successfully served the world for decades.

What a night for the Wrestling Team last Wednesday. Thank you to Mayor Reardon, coaches and regional athletic directors for converting Newburyport City Hall into a wrestling festival. The NHL may have its Winter Classic, but we now have our own version here in Newburyport, and our wrestlers rose to the energy of the event.
