Climate of Freedom Award

The Spectrum Club was awarded this year's Climate of Freedom Award by the Concord-Carlisle Human Rights Council along with the Middle School's Gender and Sexuality Alliance. Started over 30 years ago, the Human Rights Council continues to support human rights and respect for human differences. It is a volunteer group that coordinates its efforts with other local resources to overcome issues that divide and create misunderstanding and strife. The Spectrum Club will be accepting the award on April 3, 2022, at a ceremony to be held at CCHS. Congratulations to The Spectrum Club!

About the Spectrum Club: 

The Concord-Carlisle Spectrum Club began in the early 1990s as part of the statewide Safe Schools initiative.  It was founded by a group of students, teachers, and parents and has been going strong ever since.  

Spectrum is a club that welcomes all CCHS students, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or status as a questioning person and/or ally. They promote interest in and tolerance of diversity, and work to support a positive and welcoming school climate for all. Meetings provide support and social space for students (and sometimes faculty and staff) who come and talk about their week and the challenges they are having as well as education about local, national and global trends in the area of LGBTQ rights. It is a judgment-free space where people can be themselves. 

Written by Faculty Member: Benjamin Kendall: 
We have hosted school-wide events like "socials" which are informal dances like during October (Halloween and Coming Out Month) and May - we have invited Gay Straight Alliances from surrounding schools as well- our attendance has usually numbered up to 30-40 students total.  In recent years, we have worked on reform issues within the school like expanding the number of Gender Neutral Bathrooms at the high school as our trans and gender non-conforming student body expands.  We have also met multiple times with Health and Fitness teachers to discuss ways to revise their Sexuality Curriculum to make it more inclusive of and sensitive to LGBTQ+ students.  We have applied for several grants with Student Government to expand on art around the school that would make the building more visually welcoming and inclusive as well as invite in a gender specialist who can talk with teachers and staff about how to make their classes more welcoming and inclusive of LGBTQ+ students.  And finally, at this year's professional development in service, which met over 4 early release days, we had a total of four Spectrum students participate as guest panelists on two of the days.  

I should mention that we have a tremendously supportive faculty and administration- Brian Miller encouraged our students to participate on the professional development panels.  Ray Pavlik of Student Government encouraged us to apply for the grants.  Michael Mastrullo has been very supportive of the gender-neutral bathroom issue and Andrew Nyamekye, our new Director of Diversity and Inclusion has met with us to hear our concerns.  







Speech and Debate Team Earns Charter Status


Congratulations to the Speech and Debate Team for earning Charter status in the National Speech and Debate Association! This significant achievement is the highest school membership honor. Charter status is earned by building a team that is heavily involved in the honor society, wherein they earn points and distinction through speech and debate competition, as well as community service, public speaking, and leadership activities. Earning a Charter is a remarkable achievement, placing the program among the best and most stable in the nation. This designation demonstrates that under the Debate Team leadership, not only is the team growing and competing at a high level, but the students uphold the highest standards of integrity, humility, respect, leadership, and service in our organization. For more information go to www.speechanddebate.org. Congratulations CCHS Speech and Debate!

Parking at CCHS

 All,

Parking has been and remains a significant problem at CCHS. As noted in my messaging earlier this year, student parking is designated for seniors only. This unfortunate fact results from capacity issues and not a reluctance to allow juniors to park at school. 

Over the past six years, we have made significant attempts to add parking at CCHS, to no avail. Adding parking spaces is more complex and complicated than one would assume. Nevertheless, I must deal with the facts as they are, and not how I want them to be. 

We have tried to manage this with empathy and common sense, which has not proved fruitful. Recently more and more seniors who paid for parking find their spot occupied with nowhere to go. 

 The parking lot is reserved for staff, visitors, and seniors who paid for a parking spot. 

Students on campus without a parking pass will have their car towed immediately from the lot. As a reminder, parking passes cannot be sold or transferred. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2021 Blog

Parking

  • Parking is only available to seniors (YOG 2022).  All seniors requesting a parking spot will be entered into a lottery.  In order to enter the lottery, you need to purchase a parking permit and complete the required information on MySchoolBucks.com.  If you are not assigned a parking spot, your purchase will be refunded. We are hopeful that all seniors can be accommodated.

Masks, Meet a Neuroscientist, Nordic Ski Team, Writing Contest Winners, Lauren Keilty, Debate Team, Boys Track, Girls Swim & Dive

All,

Tomorrow we arrive at CCHS with masks optional. It is hard to believe, but a sophomore in high school has yet to arrive at CCHS unmasked. We welcome the relaxing of COVID-19 measures, but we do so with empathy, compassion, and kindness to those who, for a myriad of reasons, cannot remove their mask. For those who welcome this change, I am glad you can remove your mask. To those who need to wear a mask, please show empathy and compassion.  

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. 

Meet a Neuroscientist, Tuesday, March 29th | 5:00 pm EST

Harvard Brain Initiative (HBI) is launching a new virtual event series called “Meet a Neuroscientist.” Click here to learn more and register for their first event on March 29th at 5 pm. 

The goal is for high school students and undergraduates across the nation to have a chance to chat with brain science researchers from the Harvard community. We will offer one-hour sessions in Zoom where students have a chance to meet two researchers from different areas of neuroscience. These researchers may be graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, professors, or staff members. Each speaker gives a short, informal talk about their research and educational background, and then opens up the conversation for Q&A. 

 Please reach out to parizad_bilimoria@hms.harvard.edu, if you have any questions.





Nordic Ski Team - Champions!


The girl's team beat Mt. Greylock for the State Championship in a very tight race. The course was 7km and the race was held at Prospect Mt. in Vermont.

Writing Contest Winners

Lauren Keilty

Congratulations to Lauren Keilty '22 for competing in the US Equestrian Interscholastic Athlete Program. Lauren has committed hundreds of hours of training throughout her career. You can read Lauren's recognition letter here. Way to go Lauren!

About US Equestrian: This program was developed to provide recognition for the accomplishments of young equestrians and encourage their future involvement in equestrian sport. US Equestrian recognizes the dedication of equestrians preparing for competition through practice and training sessions as similar to other students in athletic programs and developed this program to honor individual achievements with a varsity letter in the student's chosen sport, regardless of the availability of an equestrian team or club through their school. 





CCHS Debate Team News

The CCHS Debate team participated in two tournaments on Saturday: The Lumos Debate held online and the Boston Catholic Forensic League’s national qualifier held in person at Shrewsbury HS. 

At Lumos Debate, in the Gold Division, our phenomenal team of Asher Sun and Felicity Zhang were undefeated and took 1st Place Team, after defeating Waring School’s top[ team of Mikaila Bennett & Eliza Proctor in the 4th round. As coach of both teams, I was happy to see both teams debate so well and to see Asher and Felicity’s hard work pay off. Judging for CCHS at this tournament was Hua Yang.

At the BCFL National Qualifier, CCHS was ably represented by Richard Li & Wilbur Moffitt. They had a superior showing, going undefeated in the first 3 rounds before qualifying for elimination rounds and earning the “second alternate” position for the National Debate Tournament in May. In addition, Wilbur became the first “Double Ruby” (508 NSDA points) at CCHS, a remarkable sign of his active participation in debate. Ling Liu also became our first judge to attend 20 tournaments in her judging career, a sign of deep commitment to the team!

This was our second IN-PERSON tournament of the year, and it was a joy to be with other debaters and actually be in the same room with our competition. Waring School’s Team leader, Cam Gimbrere, described the difference this way:

“One thing I love and missed the most about in-person debating is the strangely comforting and strange grounding technique I developed freshman year. Tournaments are terrifying, and between your horrendous nerves and attempts to avoid rival teams, there's not much quiet time. When I get in this space at in-person tournaments, I breathe and take a physical step back. What am I seeing? High schoolers. High schoolers dressed up in little suits for twelve hours a day, reading little research papers and pretending they're little politicians. Being once again in this environment of chatter and focus is invigorating. Being once again around people who are wandering the halls in socks because their shoes were hurting or those who are crying in the bathroom because they should not have lost that round (I have been in both of these situations) allows me to realize that I am not alone here. That it's okay if I don't get top place or break to finals. It's okay. We're just high schoolers.” 

In addition to agreeing with Cam’s philosophical observations on in-person debating, I found it refreshing to be in the same tabulation room with my lifelong colleagues from our regional leadership team, eating bad pizza and sharing our thoughts on the state of debate in New England. 




Debate Team Places at National Qualifier

CCHS’ novice “phenoms” Felicity Zhang & Eleanor Yoshida were dominant and earned a spot as 2nd alternates in the New England District Tournament of the National Speech and Debate Association’s qualifier for the National tournament to be held in Dallas in June. Debating the new February topic, “Resolved: On balance, Turkey’s Membership is Beneficial to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,” they garnered a 3W-2L record against the top teams in New England. It was an awesome showing for a young team competing against the best varsity debaters in the league.

They gained valuable experience that CCHS will use for the next two weekends at the NCFL National Qualifier and the Harvard Tournament. Thanks to Felicity and Nora for being our “avant-garde” on the latest topic. Rui Ma served as the judge for CCHS and debate coach Tim Averill worked in the judge training for the tournament. 


CCHS Debaters Excel at Harvard

The CCHS Debate team was represented by 6 debaters at the Harvard National Debate Tournament, held online on Friday, February 18 - Monday, February 21. Debating in varsity debate were Molly Branigan & Richard Li, in J-V debate Wilbur Moffitt & Asher Sun, and in Novice Debate Felicity Zhang & Eleanor Yoshida. 

The tournament attracted over 2000 students from both the United States and International destinations - China, Canada, and Latin American nations. Felicity and Nora were undefeated and the top seed in preliminary debates (5W-0L) and won their first elimination round before losing to Regis HS of New York City in Double-Octofinals. In addition, Felicity was the ninth-place speaker in a field of 430 debaters in the novice division.

Lunar New Year, Black History Month, Bruins' Willie O'Ree Retirement Ceremony, CCHS Debate Team

Semester 2 is upon us and we embark on the remaining second half of the school year. Another challenging year dealing with COVID, but I am filled with hope and optimism that our future is better than our past. Please read on for more information and some exciting news. 

Lunar New Year 2022

Happy Chinese New Year! Today, Tuesday, February 1st marks the beginning of a New Year -- the Lunar New Year. This day is also known as the Chinese New Year. Separately, we also bid farewell to the Year of the Ox and welcome the Year of the Tiger.

 CCHS staff member Bo Feng made this piece using a wood-burning technique  (pyrography) that is truly awe-inspiring.  Needless to say, in addition to being a great teacher, Bo is an amazing artist.



Black History Month
The month of February is Black History Month. We honor the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout U.S. history. This year's Black History theme focuses on the importance of Black Health and Wellness and considers activities, rituals, and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well. 

Bruins Retire Willie O'Ree's Number With Two METCO Students

I  am extremely excited to share a video of two talented METCO students.  Dallas and Toryn Jackson made their mark on the ice on January 18th, 2022 when they participated in the Willie O'Ree retirement ceremony with the Boston Bruins.  Willie O'Ree "the Jackie Robinson of hockey" changed history and opened the proverbial door for other underrepresented people to play in the NHL. 

Both Dallas (class of 2021) and Toryn (class of 2024) spent many weekends for several years participating in a Boston-based hockey league affiliated with Mr. O'Ree.  In a recent interview, Willie O'Ree said that besides being Black and being blind in my right eye, I was faced with four other things: racism, prejudice, bigotry, and ignorance.  He broke the NHL's color barrier in 1958 with the Bruins, one of six teams at the time. He played 45 games with the Bruins, despite being legally blind -- scoring four goals and recording 10 assists. Please view the video and join me in congratulating the Jackson sisters!

CCHS Debaters Win Awards at Malcolm Bump Memorial Tournament

    
On Saturday, January 22, CCHS sent 12 debaters to the online Malcolm Bump Tournament (Montrose New York - Hendrick Hudson High School), and the team won 4 awards. This was the largest group of CCHS debaters to attend any tournament this academic year, and the success showed the growth of the team.

In the Novice debate, the team of Ryan Valentine & Jonathan Peppercorn placed 8th (3W-1L0 in a field of 112 debaters, and individual speaker awards went to Ryan (10th) and Jonathan (7th). Also debating in novice were Felicity Zhang & Eleanor Yoshida, Asher Sun & Mads Reeves, and Joe Park & Jameson Velez.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, Corinne Herr, CCHS Girl Scouts

Dr. King helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. His is a message of hope, and during difficult times things can seem very bleak; Dr. King said it best, "only when it is dark enough can you see the stars." If time permits, I encourage you to listen to it; don't just read the words, actually listen to the address.

Dr. Martin Luther King "I Have A Dream"


Read on for information regarding an annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, CCHS Girls Scouts, and a hardy congratulations to Corinne Herr for winning the Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year Award.  A great honor.  


Annual Celebration to Honor the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Andrew Nyamekye


Saturday, January 15th marks Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 93rd birthday, and January 17th is the federal holiday recognizing the Civil Rights leader. In partnership with Bedford Public Schools METCO Director/DEI Coordinator Akil Mondesir, our school communities will honor Dr. King's life and legacy with a virtual event on Friday, January 21, 2022, at 6:30 pm on Zoom. 


Our keynote speaker is Ron Jones, an Emmy Award winner and Executive Director/Artistic Principal of Dialogues on Diversity. Mr. Jones will present a performance lecture titled: MLK and the Strength of Shared Dreams. Through live character portrayal and video, MLK and the Strength of Shared Dreams depict how MLK’s “Poor Peoples Campaign” was a turning point in intersectional advocacy. A broad cross-section of cultural groups came together to fight against poverty. Had King lived to be the face of this young movement, it would have changed the way we look at race and social issues. We believe that it would have been a great leap forward in our American Civil Rights Story. 


I hope that you will join us for this event on January 21st. Please click here for the event flyer, and RSVP in order to receive a zoom link in advance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Andrew K. Nyamekye, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Concord and Concord-Carlisle Public Schools at anyamekye@concordps.org.

CCHS Music, CCHS Theatre, Tori Postler, Anyuu Inomoto Fong, & Audrey Mirak

It is with great pleasure that I share my last blog of 2021 featuring highlights from our talented students; however, before I do, I feel compelled to acknowledge that we all suffer from some form of COVID exhaustion. 

Still, recent events compel me to reiterate the importance of simple safety measures intended as an antidote to the inevitable relaxing of our senses that accompany two years of COVID mandates. 

Wearing a mask is now a mode of consciousness that has become instinct, but the proper wearing of a mask (fully covering mouth and nose) lacks needed consistency. Also, I reiterate the importance of cleaning your personal space when arriving at a desk. 

The nightly news spreads plenty of fear and anxiety.  To counter pockets of grim, I encourage everyone to spreads a bit of joy more liberally than division and fear. If nothing else, the holidays should bring kindness; lest one not forget, often the shortest distance between two people is laughter, even if covered by a mask. 

I sincerely hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday break. I look forward to 2022 with great optimism that our future will be better than our past.  Come what may.

CCHS Music

The CCHS Orchestra, Jazz Band A, Repertory Band, Concert Band, Combined Chorus, Melodies, Bel Canto Singers, Men's Chorus, and Select Choir recently held indoor concerts, the first since December of 2019. Despite the challenges of last year and the continuation of distancing, masks, and bell covers, the student musicians put on polished and professional performances that were well received by the limited capacity audience.

Close to 200 instrumentalists and singers performed over the course of two concerts and students were excited to finally share their music with an audience; a luxury taken for granted no longer, as live performances were missed by all. Thank you to the CCHS community for your support and to our music families for making these nights so special for all involved.  Congratulations to Deb, David, and to all those who make the event possible.
