Below is an update on the Director of Athletics search and information about CCHS students being recognized by the New York Times. Congratulations to our ELA Dept. and the following students for their impressive accomplishment. Well done, Samantha Jones, Lily Langrind, Ayden Nichol, Odin Doolittle, Isabella Eckler, Sarah Lyons, Caitlin McCarthy, and Caitlin Terpstra.
CCHS Students Shine in New York Times Competition
Congratulations to Dr. Nurenberg and his students for performing exceptionally well in the "Making Connections" challenge offered by the New York Times.
"The challenge we announced in December"— asked teenagers to suggest creative ways to link classic texts to the work today. Over 1,200 students nationwide "suggested interesting thematic links between recent Times articles and literary, historical and scientific texts."
Astoundingly, CCHS witnessed three winners and five honorable mentions. Dr. Nurenberg and members of the English Dept. deserve credit for developing a creative assignment that led to our students being honored. Congratulations to the eight students recognized for being chosen out of more than 1200 submissions.

Athletic Director Search
As noted a previous blog post, Barry Haley, Director of Athletics is retiring after 11 years in the position. The process of finding a replacement is moving forward with two finalists named. I have included a copy of the job posting, which is not an exhaustive list of requirements, but it does provide a glimpse into the type of individual we are seeking. We had 32 applicants apply for the position with roughly a dozen meeting the necessary requirements and holding the appropriate licensure. We are grateful for the interest in our school.
I am happy to report that two strong, supremely qualified candidates have advanced to the next round. Mr. Jonathan Winer and Mr. Aaron Jonas. Mr. Winer is the current Athletic Director for the Capitol Region Education Council in Hartford, CT. He also has worked as the Commissioner for the Capitol Region Athletic League and coached at the high school and collegiate level.
Mr. Joncas has spent the last nine years as the METCO Director for Concord Public Schools and Concord Carlisle High School. Mr. Joncas also served as the Athletic Director for Belmont Day School and worked in admissions at The Fenn School.
I want to thank members of the hiring committee for their time and energy during this process, and I want to commend Assistant Principal, Brian Miller for chairing a committee that was professional, efficient, and well organized. Details about next steps are listed below. We hope to have a candidate a new Director of Athletics by the middle of March.
