Happy New Year! As Martin Luther King said in his 1965 Oberlin College commencement speech, “The time is always right to do what is right.” With this in mind, we are aiming for a fantastic year with a healthy, hopeful attitude.
NHS TV/ Media Alumni Finalists in
National Awards
Class of 2019 graduates Joe Spadorica and Xavier Cullen

gered animal. The story was entered to the National Scho-
lastic Press Association (NSPA) feature story contest and is

who, “through education, training and recognition pro-
grams for members, NSPA promotes the standards and

They took into consideration different factors including gas mileage, miles driven, and the cost of gas. This project was part of a grant teachers Amy Quinn and Laura Mullen received from the NCTA. This grant gave the teachers access to the Mathalicious Website which includes many real world applications to the math they are learning in class.
