This time of year is particularly special for the senior class of Concord Carlisle High School. Students are contemplating their futures, and many are eagerly anticipating a decision from the college of their choice. With prom and senior week activities on the horizon and Graduation looming, we are confident that students will make the most of the fleeting moments of their high school careers.
The final term of the year seems to pass more quickly than the preceding three. With distractions abounding, we urge you to encourage your son/daughter to continue to maximize their efforts related to their course of studies. As the finish line draws near, it is important that they not lose sight of their academic obligations.
During this time of celebration, student safety is a primary concern. This unique period in students’ lives presents parents and educators with the opportunity to work together and encourage continued good decision-making. Let’s work together to ensure that this prom and graduation season provides only the fondest memories students and families deserve.
In keeping with the character of your class, we are confident that the proper dignity, pomp, and circumstance will be given to the upcoming events and ceremonies so that students, families, and all members of the CCHS community will be able to look back on these memorable occasions with great pride.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Mastrullo
Principal
Moot Court
On Tuesday, May 16th, the finals of the prestigious Denis Cleary Moot Court Competition took place.
Over the last several months, competitors in the 16 team bracket have been arguing Supreme Court cases in front of Social Studies teachers, Ms. Fox and Ms. Davies. However, the finals are presented before professional judges who have practiced for many years in Massachusetts.
The Chief Justice in last Tuesday's case was Barbara Lenk of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. Preparation for each of these cases takes several weeks and countless hours of research, the creation of carefully mulled over legal arguments, and impressive teamwork within pairs.
The final case was a showdown between petitioners (Millie Ball, Maya Calabria) and respondents (Zoe Dettelbach, Grace Pacelle) in the 2017 case Peña-Rodriguez v. Colorado. This was the first all female final that the competition has seen in many years. All the girls performed admirably.
After what the judges deemed to be one of the most challenging cases they've heard in CC's Moot Court history, they delivered a ruling for the respondents. Congratulations Zoe and Grace! Both teams are commended for their hard work and confidence.
Thank you to all staff that made this possible and a special thank you to Ms. Fox and Ms. Davies for their hard work, effort, and support.
A recording of the proceedings will be aired shortly on WIQH's channel.
METCO Senior Dinner
By Aaron Joncas, METCO Director
This year's graduating class includes 13 students from Boston enrolled through METCO. Last Friday we celebrated their accomplishments with family, friends, and members of our CCHS staff at our annual senior dinner. Six of the students attended elementary and middle school in Concord, while seven joined us as freshmen at CCHS.
They have demonstrated high academic achievement, performed admirably as actors and musicians, excelled in athletics and contributed exemplary citizenship. A highlight of the dinner each year is a video compilation of students reflecting on their CPS and CCHS experiences.

| Dee Dee Trotter & CCHS Students |
Olympic Champion Visits CCHS
Olympic Champion DeeDee Trotter visited CCHS on Thursday to share her compelling story not only from her experience training for and participating in three Olympic Games, but also from traveling the world as a professional athlete.
She holds two Olympic gold medals in the 4×400m relay (2004 and 2012), as well as an individual bronze medal in the 400m sprint (2012). Outside the Olympics, she has won the IAAF World Championships, the IAAF World Indoor Championships, and the IAAF World Relays. DeeDee has established herself off the track as the founder of Test Me I’m Clean, a charity dedicated to combating the abuse of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. As a clean athlete herself, she founded the charity in order to fight the glorification of drugs in athletics and dispute the assumption that all elite athletes are doping. Her message was one of perseverance, dedication, and grit.
