Memorial High School Happenings

I hope you had a restful break and looking forward to a great 2024. Please take a look at a few happenings and updates in this newsletter.

-Mr. St. Onge

The National Honor Society students and members of the Student Athlete Leadership Team (S.A.L.T.) volunteered for the Salvation Army. There were 42 Memorial members that assisted approximately 900 families with picking out toys for their kids. They were AMAZING!!! They were helpful, respectful, positive, mature, polite, and spread holiday cheer!

The S.A.L.T. students also held their annual toy drive and donated 5 boxes of toys to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots.

School Counselor Ali Mattson and Social Worker Stacey Cooper-Jennings represented Memorial by presenting at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference. Their session, "10 Technology Tips for Non-Classroom Educators" focused on sharing tools to make their role more efficient. We are proud they were able to share their innovative practices with others across the state.

Our F.A.C.S. classes showed their skills in the Annual Grilled Cheese Challenge and Cupcake Wars. The winners were selected by staff judges.

The New England Association of Schools will begin the accreditation of Memorial High School in November of 2024. The process for accreditation begins with the school conducting a self-study. Part of this process is NEASC will conduct surveys of faculty, students and families. The survey questions are on the MMHS website and the link to the optional anonymous survey will be sent to students and families on January 4th.

We are excited to go through the accreditation process as it will help us continue to grow and improve. Feedback from the surveys will be tremendously valuable to our progress.

We are seeing continued growth and increased engagement with our extra-curricular clubs and organizations. Two recently student proposed clubs are the Humanitarian Red Cross Club and a Women in S.T.E.M. Club. Click here to see a full list of all opportunities.
