Dear Families:

I hope you enjoyed the gorgeous weather this weekend!  We look forward to these last days of the school year!

In the Spotlight

Concord Carlisle High School Class of 2022!

Yesterday, we celebrated the Class of 2022!  Graduation is a celebration of an entire system at work.  Parents are critical partners.  The story begins in elementary school and continues to middle school as the foundation for high school is paved.  In my comments to the graduates, I highlighted their passionate commitment to serving their community and the causes they valued.  Each of the items I list below came from direct interactions, actions taken by students, or stories shared with us about these young people.   This list is long and thorough, giving us much hope for the future! I know this same spirit continues in the students returning to our schools for years to come.

We saw you share your passion for equity and respect for those of all races.

We saw you share your passion for mental health and wellness.

We saw you share your passion for the environment and sustainability.

We saw you share your passion for peace and democracy.

We saw you share your passion for equity for LGTBQ individuals.

We saw share your passion for equity between genders.

We saw you share your gratitude for first responders.

We saw you advocate for political and social issues.

We saw you share your passion for safety in schools. 

We saw you serve in student government or leadership positions.

We saw you share your compassion and service for senior citizens.

We saw you share your compassion and service for younger students and children.

We saw you serve your community through athletics and team efforts to serve others.

We saw you serve others by collecting for those in war torn areas of the world like Ukraine.

We saw you advocate for improvements here at CCHS like the skatepark and others.

We saw you serve your community by doing civic work such as at a Town Meeting, volunteering at a local business, another school, or many other spaces in your community.

And finally, we saw you support and tend to your family, friends, pets, school, homes, and each other.
